Julia just finished conducting a coding contest, and she needs your help assembling the leaderboard! Write a query to print the
respective hacker_id and name of hackers who achieved full scores for more than one challenge. Order your output in descending
order by the total number of challenges in which the hacker earned a full score. If more than one hacker received full scores in same
number of challenges, then sort them by ascending hacker_id.

and difficulty_level is the level of difficulty of the challenge.
Submissions: The submission_id is the id of the submission, hacker_id is the id of the hacker who made the
submission, challenge_id is the id of the challenge that the submission belongs to, and score is the score of the
submission.

90411 Joe
Explanation
Hacker 86870 got a score of 30 for challenge 71055 with a difficulty level of 2, so 86870 earned a full score for this challenge.
Hacker 90411 got a score of 30 for challenge 71055 with a difficulty level of 2, so 90411 earned a full score for this challenge.
Hacker 90411 got a score of 100 for challenge 66730 with a difficulty level of 6, so 90411 earned a full score for this challenge.
Only hacker 90411 managed to earn a full score for more than one challenge, so we print the their hacker_id and name as 2 space-
separated values.
select h.hacker_id, h.name from Submissions as s join Hackers as h
on s.hacker_id = h.hacker_id

Harry Potter and his friends are at Ollivander's with Ron, finally replacing Charlie's old broken wand.
Hermione decides the best way to choose is by determining the minimum number of gold galleons needed to buy each non-evil wand
of high power and age. Write a query to print the id, age, coins_needed, and power of the wands that Ron's interested in, sorted in
