I can confirm that all mine were in the second set as well.

Weird... so the GC thing just suddenly started happening? I'll take a look into it. I haven't changed anything there in a long time so not sure why that's not working!

The timing of the first reports seemed to coincide with the DST change - maybe something shifted slightly that now places scoring the second set of a GC into the new day (and thus out of reach) for challenge purposes.

Same problem again with the Global Challenges. The second set still isn't registering as complete since the clocks changed.

I seem to recall reading somewhere that daily challenges aren't supposed to repeat within the same week. If that is the case, it is not working. I don't remember whether it was Wednesday or Thursday of this week that my original difficult challenge was to get 10/10 on My Daily Quiz in difficult mode. Once I succeeded with that, I decided to buy a new challenge and got the Crystal Ball challenge. Today (Saturday), I opened my challenges and got the Crystal Ball challenge again. Since I did not want to try for that today, I switched it out and got the My Daily Quiz 10/10 in difficult mode again.

I'm fine with this if there is not supposed to be a rule against it, but if there is supposed to be such a rule, I wanted to point out that it is not working.

Not sure, but I believe that purchased Challenges are considered separately and not subject to any frequency limitation. Have no idea about switching Challenges, but would guess they are also are not.

I think the switched challenge negated the "Once per week rule".

But that's just an educated guess.

I'm not sure if the repeat is limited to only once a week. If I remember correctly, it was set to only repeat after one full day is passed. so theoretically you could have the same daily challenge on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday.

If you swap out a challenge, this one is considered not to have been issued, so it can strike again the day after. The swap only is valid for the current day.

That's what I was thinking also, that the frequency was every other day instead of weekly.

My difficult challenge for today is

Score a cumulative total of at least 6003 points in the Fill Me In hourly game today

Fill Me In is no longer an hourly challenge.
How Am I expected to complete it?

That's difficult indeed. You could actually make it by playing all six sets but certainly that number is not intentional...

For the future.
Can the challenge modified or dropped?

Another difficult challenge that needs to be reconsidered.

"Score a cumulative total of at least 6292 points in the Obscurity hourly game today."

Obscurity is no longer an hourly game.

I had two challenges yesterday that involved Global Challenge. However I can’t understand why the challenges show I completed the difficult but not the medium.

Challenges were

Medium

Completion: Two FunTrivia Credits

Rank in the top 25% of players in one of your Global Challenge games today. Ranks are assigned when the sets close.
Incomplete
Difficult

Completion: Three FunTrivia Credits

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

How many were in the division for the game in which you were top 3? If it was under 12, then third place wasn't in the top quarter. 3/11 = 0.27, and your rank needs to be 0.25 or less.

Thanks, I think that explains it, maybe.

To follow up... the text says "there is no record of you having started today's braintwist. Perhaps it reset while you were answering. Please go back to the "play" screen and reload". Really?
