LPN's table shows there are two lots of 5 challenges to do. I finished the first set this morning, this is what my daily challenge screen now looks like:

From tomorrow I can start the second set of 5 challenges.

EDIT:
I just finished the first set of challenges on my second town, however the screen shows this:

This only shows the prize for the second set as 3 donuts, now I'm confused too!

Yep, what happened in your secondary town is exactly what happened in mine and caused my confusion. Pleased I'm not the only one that thought it was odd!

So am I right in saying that the daily challenges arrive in no particular order as I have already done the Ned one which is near the bottom of the list.

Also, I now have to 'Make Sea Captain reminisce of Adventures' which I cannot see listed at all.

I'm so confused about all of this plus it is impossible to know who to leave free for the next task if you don't know what order the daily tasks are arriving in.

It is impossible to graft for doughnuts on the monorail, complete the 2 SHs tasks that I've been set and do the daily task too. I have no interest in SH and feel really pished off that I'm being forced to upgrade and build stuff there which ties up characters that I want to use on the Monorail.

I've never hated an update before but this one has really wound me up.

Agh just found it and it's another 8 hours!!!! So as of next week when I will be at work I will be able to do 1 task per day as I cannot play during work hours, won't be able to graft at SH and will feel in an even worse mood than I do now.

Yes, don't worry about the SH tasks - just do them whenever you have time and feel like doing it, even if you're just sending one or two characters to craft stuff. Those tasks don't affect anything else in the game (just irritating to see them in the list waiting to be completed).

It will be interesting to see how things work with the railyard and the donut shop and whatever we have for the next event. I think something will have to give. :?

I'm also a bit confused.

I finished the first round of tasks in both my towns, got my prize of 3 donuts in both. However, in one town I now have 0/5 for a reward of 3 donuts and in the other I have 0/15 for a prize of 10.... :? Is it safe to say that this might be a bit buggy?

Could just be that it's random. There seem to be options for 5, 10 or 15 tasks in a set. Guess we'll have to wait and see how it all plays out. :?

Question for those who have 10 or 15 tasks to complete:

Do you still get only 1 new challenge per day, or does it increase to 2 or 3?

I'm on 0/15 as of this morning. Just one challenge today. So I guess it's just one challenge no matter what?

Now that would make sense - don't know why, but in my head I just assumed it would go in order, but I was basing that assumption on a grand total of zero information :D I shouldn't trust my head - here's what goes on in there most of the time

I don't suppose it matters much anyway - I shall just continue to tap away and get me some free donuts - what's not to like? :)

Totally on the same page with you here! I was thinking there might be a logical approach to it but then it is EA, so maybe I was hoping for too much! I'm just happy there are donuts at the end of the rainbow.

I opened up my donut shop first thing and my challenge for today (Android) is to Play Sideshow You in Krustyland x 2.

So I said "OK, I'll be doing that anyway", closed the menu and went on about clearing out my town and resetting everything then went to Krusyland and cleared my Tickets and did Sideshow You. When I returned to my town I checked the Donut Shop and... It didn't count. Looks like you need to use the 'Go to' button to make it count.

And for everybody else who didn't notice... There's a Donut Shop button in the upper right hand corner so you don't have to keep scrolling back to the Donut Shop every time (like I was doing all day yesterday...).

My husband (mizark007650) got this challenge too, used the Go To button this morning before work, came home and it was reset to zero. He did it again, and as soon as he went back to Springfield it was reset to zero again. This task is super glitchy and he is more than a little annoyed since it takes 8 hours before the balloons can be popped again.

I'm wondering of skipping a task has an effect. I skipped one because it was just cash and it now says I can win 3 donuts not six.
