Ouch! Not what I would have expected. Thanks for letting us know. From the intro tasks, I had assumed it would just give you an alternate task for the day with no penalty. Maybe this only happens if you're on the first day (0/5 or whatever). Might be worth switching a task if your reward is only 3 donuts, just to see if you can boost it to 6?

According to tstoaddicts it's utterly random. There's no punishment for skipping/swapping a challenge.

To get new challenges you need to clear the ones you have so the max n. Of challenges at once can only be 3 as the text underneath the screen says. You have no limit other then the 42 days

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!

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.

I didn't skip any tasks other than the one they forced us to skip, so there is no correlation there. It's either random or buggy. Either way we still get donuts :)

Has anyone figured out if the amount of donuts we get is equal to/averages out with the random possibility of getting 30 donuts in the old mystery box?
Whatever happened to Neglecterino? This seems right up his alley.

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.

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.

Yup, it is. I thought it was just because I didn't hit the Go to button this morning, but on my second attempt I hit the button, it took me to the shuttle bus and asked if I wanted to go to Krustyland, then once I got there it popped me directly to Sideshow You. After Tapping my 3 balloons I went back and still needed 2 rounds of Sideshow You. Fortunately I was able to skip to a different task. Unfortunately it was to craft Smart Devices. :(

Am still not getting the 42 day limit. Do we complete as many daily tasks as we can during that time frame i.e. 42 but the max bonus payout will stay at level 20 (20 jobs complete) once we hit it? Then when day 42 is completed, we go back to the lowest level bonus payout again?

yes. however this is how i interpreted whats written in the files. it could be something else. i'm not a ea coder ;)

Thanks!

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...).

Mine has done this and I've tried twice. I have used the go to button as well and didn't work
