As with most things it comes down to a value judgement. When is something too silly to ask? Equally important question would be when is something too silly to respond too? And if you deem it not worthy of being asked why would you post a reply?
I appreciate those who answered.
Instead of writing a novel I was brief in my question. Stating several of the things I had done should suffice in demonstrating that I had not simply run to post a question to the board without attempting to find an answer for myself. However, it seems that was my err so I will correct below with a full accounting of how my question came to be.
1. Download update
2. "Stone cutters. Cool. Noo! How long does this task take before I can get to the good stuff?"
3. Logged back in, "Should I use donuts to speed up the process?"
4. Resist donut usage, go play Ultimate Frisbee instead.
5. Log back in, use donuts. "What? Another task!?!?" I knew it, always a few tasks to get to the good stuff.
6. Read the forums for the walkthroughs. "Wow, lots of positive posts about the update. Number 1 tasks? Scroll tasks?"
7. log back in, use donuts or not. "No, I am still unable to log into krustyland since Easter so I won't purchase anymore until fixed, this is day one. Relax.
8. "Woo hoo, I can spy and stuff."
9. "What the heck? Only 60 friend actions get the event currency?!?!" Reread walkthroughs, visit other TSTO sites.
10. Envy at the few of my friends who have massive donut stockpiles and are almost done the game.
11. Check out all the event donut purchases. "51!!! Oh...I want that. Abandoned building....pffft. Skins...meh."
12. Check out the event cash purchases. "Walls...hmmm, those might look cool around the lodge. A slide...meh."
13. Read guides on prizes. "Not too bad"
14. Friend visits. "Whoa look at that! An entire compound! Might steal that trick with the walls."
15. "Prizes won"
16. Friend visits. "Daycare Center? What the heck is that? Whoa...two friends with it? Ahhh..chill both of them have a crap load of event currency and every premium item ever made."
17. Friend visits. "I wish my name started with an A or a B for visits to my own town.
18. Forum check for event currency need by day. "Great, I am well ahead."
19. "More Daycares? Wait, these folks don't have the same amount of currency? What did I miss?"
20. Premium menu check. "Ohhhh look 51, no stop nit what you are here for. Nope no daycare."
21. Build menu check. "Nope, maybe decoration menu? Nope. Event menu check..hmmm."
22. Inventory check. "Did I skip reading a task bubble or something? Nope."
23. Check the scroll tasks. "What the heck?"
24. Forum search for daycare. "Ok, a few posts. No one seems to be missing it. No ones is talking about how they got it. Crap. Must have been one of the early tasks."
25. Forum walkthroughs. "Ok, I did those, nothing seems to unlock the fricking daycare center. What the hell?! I don't even like kids!"
26. Post question.
Hopefully this more humorous take makes up for the original post.
