[QUOTE="shutyertrap, post: 289253, member: 134"] Okay, here's how it is supposed to work... There are up to 4 challenges available, the 4th being the one you have to spend 200 coins on to unlock. Though not labeled as such anymore, they used to be from top to bottom (easiest to hardest) Basic, Advanced, Pro, and Premium. Each challenge has 3 levels to it before it is considered complete and goes into the 24 hour wait period; Easy, Normal, and Hard. Just to be clear, Basic Hard score requirement is significantly easier than Premium Hard. You can bypass the wait time by spending 20 and 30 tix respectively for Basic and Advanced, while Pro and Premium cost 5 coins to cycle. There is a glitch in the game that is not consistent, whereby sometimes your first challenge is set to Hard, then goes to Normal, and back to Hard. If you spend the 5 tix to cycle the table, it almost always goes to the proper Easy, Normal, Hard pattern. For the "Independence Day" timed event, the first challenge is stuck on Easy for all 3 tries, but the rewards issue in a progression. The 2nd challenge works as it should, is harder still, and offers even better rewards. As for the coins, I don't know what others are doing, but here's how it went for me. When Volume 3 got released and I started tracking all my data, there were on average 7 coins available each day. You had to play all four challenges and beat every one. As soon as I had 100 coins for an upgrade, I did it, but I only had those 3 tables to do, having already maxed the others in an older build of the game that only needed 10 coins for upgrades.
