    This Is the one daily task that I'm worried about not finishing.

    Even though I already earned enough hats for Marge, I'm trying to reach the overtime donuts at least twice.

    That's now In jeopardy :(

    What time do the tasks start? Apparently it's sometime after 12EST.

    The 24hr window doesn't start when the task is available, but when you start it. Also you don't have to finish within 24 hours to get the price - that's only for the bonus.

    New tasks unlock @ 8 GMT (4 am EST).

    Simple - just don't start it first-thing in the morning.
    The 24hr timer only starts when you start the first task.

    If you start later, you can have him do it overnight as well.
    Eg. 2pm > 6pm > 10pm > 7am > (11am finish)

    ^ Wha?


    Anyway, it'll be hard and intense, but it's for the Ultimate Prize of this entire event: ComicBookGuy in martial arts gear doing high kicks for long after the summer is but a memory!

    oh, the pain and the pleasure of it all!

    The "1200 Hats Bonus" needs to be done within 24hrs of you starting the first task, not 24hrs of when it first unlocks for players to do.
    You just need to work out when you'll best able to get in consecutive tasks for CBG.

    Personally, the Daily Tasks unlock at 6pm local time for me.
    I'll do #1 at 7pm, #2 at 11pm (to happen whilst asleep), #3 first thing in the morning (eg. 7am), and #4 at 11am. Will be finished by 3pm with a further 4hrs leeway.

    Excellent point. If you take two days to do it, you still get the CBG skin. What you forfeit is the popup "bonus" chance for up to 3 donuts.

    I want the skin real bad. And WILL get it. But i plan to take my own sweet time. At a value of 17 cents apiece, I'm not staying up for maximum 3 donuts. ;)

    You're forfeiting 1200 Caps. If you haven't earned Tennis Marge then you aren't doing the bonus donut rounds yet.

    Thought long and hard about this this morning and unfortunately the bonus for this day will be unattainable for me, this is disappointing as I was hoping to get a few more bonus donuts. But ultimately I'll just be happy to unlock Comic Book Guy's tap ball skin so I can have a complete reserve team.

    You don't get bonus donuts, you get bonus hats for the daily 24hrs challenge.

    Are the bonus hats really that big of a deal?

    I know for me, I am reaching bonus donuts every day for the last three days of the event. I hit it easily yesterday, and am already just a few hundred away from 3000 again today. Those 1200 bonus hats for completing the task in 24rs are not going to make a huge difference. Based on timing there's no way I'd be able to get FOUR bonus tries at 1-3 donuts, so I don't mind.

    Sorry, I meant the overtime bonus donuts you get for every 3000 hats after you've unlocked Marge.

    Should be okay for me - ~8am, ~noon, ~6pm, ~10pm - just need to get up in the morning to finish it. I got a great jump on Hats to start with (daily task bonus, plus friends visits) and I'm gunning for donuts. Already got them twice.
