...these would've been the $100K-winning solutions (I would declare ties losses):
1.
V: Lysol = $6.99
L2: Oxford + Crayola = $6.78
L1: Toaster Strudels + Seneca = $6.48
M: S-M
2.
V: Lysol
L2: Seneca + S-M = $6.78
L1: Oxford + Toaster Strudels = $5.78
M: Crayola = $4.99
This is a combination that would've created a tie on the middle levels:
V: Lysol
L2: Seneca + S-M
L1: Oxford + Crayola
M: Toaster Strudels = $3.99
