Disappointed having watch the earlier rounds there were not much in terms of tips.

Just heavy use of index, left$ and if statements.

One thing that's good to see is how Excel can be applied. I was a host when the challenges were: 1. Roulette 2. Biathlon

And, no. It's not heavy on tips. The rounds are timed and each of the contestants have their own methods. It was interesting to see some people use formulas and some people use conditional formatting for the same solution.

It's a competition. Not a tutorial.
