If you didn’t get the answer, check the comments of those who did.
Ask yourself how you could have thought of that, or what common principle that answer has. (e.g, I should check for X and Y)
Repeat.
I assume you have some programming experience here—if not, that seems like a prerequisite to learn. Or maybe you can get away with using LLM’s to write the Python for you.
That sounds like a pretty good basic method- I do have some (minimal) programming experience, but I didn’t use it for D&D Sci, I literally just opened the data in Excel and tried looking at it and manipulating it that way. I don’t know where I would start as far as using code to try and synthesize info from the dataset. I’ll definitely look into what other people did though.
pandas is a good library for this—it takes CSV files and turns them into Python objects you can manipulate. plotly / matplotlib lets you visualise data, which is also useful. GPT-4 / Claude could help you with this. I would recommend starting by getting a language model to help you create plots of the data according to relevant subsets. Like if you think that the season matters for how much gold is collected, give the model a couple of examples of the data format and simply ask it to write a script to plot gold per season.
To provide the obvious advice first:
Attempt a puzzle.
