Last night I spent a couple of hours obsessively hammering away at Excel to be the first to solve this before noticing firstly that it’s three years old, and secondly that I was nowhere near solving it.
Found it a hugely entertaining concept though, and it was truly time well spent. Before checking the thread’s replies, I ended up going for Str+2, Dex+1, Con+2, Cha +5 for a 75% chance.
The most interesting part came today, when I estimated my own stats and wondered how I’d spend the 10 points on myself.
I feel in 2024 the value lies in Int>Wis>Con>Cha>Dex>Str. In the past and future this looks way different, though.
If you enjoyed the concept there have been sequels to this: if you want one that’s currently being actively played I have one running now, or there’s a D&D.Sci tag with a list of all past scenarios.
(. . . could you spoiler your strategy and win chance? I know this challenge is three years old, and what you mention here isn’t game-breaking info, but I want to keep it possible for people looking/playing through the archives to seek clarifications in the comments without unwittingly/unwillingly learning anything else about the scenario.)

I’m glad you liked it!

I edited the top-comment to do that.
