Would it be possible to retire the Buzz from the Daily Challenge? From 1:00 to 3:45 today nothing shows up on the Happening Now thread, I have to go to work, there is no way I will be able to even have a go at it, today, much less win it! It is always like that, I usually exchange it if I am able to do it. Thank you.

My Difficult challenge yesterday was to finish in the top three in one of the Global Challenge games. I was unsuccessful in the morning set, but finished top in two different games in the evening set. Despite this, the challenge is showing as incomplete.

I assume this is a timing issue, with the challenge being assessed before the GC set closes, but it effectively means you only get one shot instead of two.

Personally, I'm not concerned but this could impact on other players who are actively looking to advance. Also, it seems a new issue - I'm sure I've had the challenge before without this hiccup.

I had an issue a couple of days ago with the Global Challenge as part of a Daily. Completed it yet wasn't rewarded.

Today I have the * Play new quiz in 20 minute of going up* challenge. Yet there hasn't been a new one for hours. Can it not be amended somehow to allow for such long waits?

And still no new quiz with just 1 and a half hours of the FT day left. Ridiculous! Something has to be changed....

I put a quiz online about three minutes after you posted this. Hope you saw it.

I have the Epic Variety challenge today. I see that Team vs Team is on the list of games to be completed. I wonder if this challenge can be completed since T vs T is no longer available?

Liz, if that was the Drop A Letter quiz, then many thanks. The timing was just right, I'd about given up for the day.

I know it's a very minor thing in the scheme of things but I'm trying for the 2000 daily challenges badge, and when you know that one is doable but just out of your hands, it can be a little irksome!

I've been trying to space out when I put quizzes online, if I can, for just this reason. However, real life often interferes to the point where if I want to do any editing at all, I have to do it all in one fell swoop.

That was the one, and it was really just good luck that it worked out well for you. I'm happy that it did!

My easy daily challenge today is "You're in luck! Score doesn't matter. Simply play in the Team vs Team game today."

Doesn't look that lucky to me right now...

Just wondering if I'm the only one who tries to play the old Team vs Team game each morning immediately after playing Team Heroes because that's how I've started each day here for the last ten years?

I've done that almost every day this month. crazy

One of my challenges yesterday was:

Rank in the top 50% of players in one of your Global Challenge games today. Ranks are assigned when the sets close.

Well the ranks are well and truly closed and I scored in the top 50% for all of them. Did I get the challenge? … no.

Yes, definitely a problem with the GC challenges:

"Rank in the top 3 (in your division) in one of your Global Challenge games today (when the set closes)."

One first and 2 seconds and no credit awarded.

The GC Challenges is a fairly recent development. It was working as of a very few days ago, probably 2-3.

I reported this on 8th November. I wondered at the time if it was an issue affecting the second set.

Ah, I didn't think of that Rossian. My recent completion was probably in the first set.

The Global glitch happened to me too. I was first in both Global games I played. Unfortunately, I didn't check the Forums yesterday and played my Global games in the late set.
