I did not play any topic yet, but global challenge showed I played all 6 topics. Strange.

It has not reset this morning. I have checked with a couple of other people also and it is the same for them. Obviously a site error.

I'm also told that I've already played 5 topics.
Nothing to do but hope it gets corrected and we try again later.

I have the easy challenge with a link of the global challenge :
280 pts impossible.
Thus no easy challenge and no 4th challenge.

Unfortunately I can't reset anything - Terry must do it and obviously it's nighttime for him, so it may be several hours. I recommend that if at all possible, you plan to check back around 10am server time (noon EDT, 4pm UTC, 5pm UK, 6pm CET) - I hope he will have seen by then and that still gives you two hours to play the set.

There may be a (small) chance the situation fixes itself with the daily maintenance at 3am server, but I wouldn't count on it.

PHILVV - you could always use the afternoon set for your challenge. Or use a swap.

To be fair Worldwide, why don't we scrap this Set?

Same here. No new sets.
Strangely though. Yesterday's scores have been recognised, so they've updated but not the new games.

Gumby - this is what MIGHT happen. It may however be difficult to scrap a set entirely. The system is in an unknown state, with incorrect plays and scores on record. Also, ditching the set entirely interferes with daily challenges, so it's not a great thing either.

Since I don't know what Terry can or cannot do to fix this, the best recommendation I can give at this time is to check back at a time when he should likely have seen the issue.

No Worries Wes. Just advising that Players in OZ and NZ are going to bed now, and won't wake up until the Second Set.

One of the new expert categories was incorrectly selected, creating broken question sets. So it didn't reset last hour, but chose new categories.

We still have 2/3 of the session left so I'll give it a kick and set it on its way.

Terry, as the site becomes increasingly complex, things like this are bound to happen. Maybe you should consider giving the keys, so to speak, to Wes and maybe a couple other people in different time zones.
