should we wait for the updated values, based on Bwenge's discussion?

Let's clarify first ... if you want to dare you can give your result based on my data above, but that is *urban* cpi.

I recall somewhere it was clarified that we need to predict urban CPI but can not find it now ... so what is it, urban or whole country?

From the information, it wasn't specified as either Urban or Country, the only thing I'm seeing here is south Africa itself, I guess we should wait for more clarity from Amy And also the final score of the private leaderboard

Well, the leaderboard broke its silence. Congrats @Koleshjr that is a very respectable 3rd! Impressive. The big surprise, for me but I think generally also, is the food and transport that both came in lower than expected, causing overall to also register a bit lower. Oh well - how's your items?

Honestly, its thanks to my teammate that we are actually at 3rd place. Thanks @Ebiendele, here are our item values:

I'm using table E from https://www.statssa.gov.za/publications/P0141/P0141May2023.pdf

The problem is that table E is only for Urbans areas:

try to use additional tables: https://www.statssa.gov.za/publications/P0141/P0141May2023_Tables.pdf

Oh no!!!!

I thought this comp was about urban only.

I also think that this is about the urban areas.

For me, it's table E. @Bwenge840 Look at, values and prior change match with data shared by zindi.

I got you
