That means I'm still on track for having Safe Cracker upgraded by day 35, which will then have me back to fully maxed on all tables available. In other words, so long as I play the challenges daily, there is no reason I will ever have to pay for anything in this app for as long as Zen releases tables. Considering how many videos I had to watch yesterday because of stupid 1 ball Party Zone, I'm not cheating Zen!Percentages So FarI've updated with another week's worth of data...Theatre of Magic43% of all challenges14% of Basic14% of Advanced5% of Pro10% of PremiumSafe Cracker24% of all challenges14% of Basic0% of Advanced5% of Pro24% of PremiumChampion Pub19% of all challenges10% of Basic10% of Advanced0% of Pro0% of PremiumMedieval Madness33% of all challenges5% of Basic0% of Advanced10% of Pro19% of PremiumGetaway48% of all challenges14% of Basic10% of Advanced5% of Pro19% of PremiumJunk Yard38% of all challenges5% of Basic5% of Advanced19% of Pro10% of PremiumAttack From Mars67% of all challenges10% of Basic29% of Advanced14% of Pro14% of PremiumBlack Rose33% of all challenges10% of Basic5% of Advanced10% of Pro10% of PremiumParty Zone33% of all challenges10% of Basic14% of Advanced10% of Pro0% of PremiumFish Tales62% of all challenges10% of Basic14% of Advanced24% of Pro14% of PremiumHere's how often the challenges are coming up:Basic 5 minute: 43%Basic 1 ball: 19%Basic survival: 38%Advanced 5 minute: 14%Advanced 1 ball: 48%Advanced survival: 38%Pro 5 minute: 38%Pro 1 ball: 29%Pro survival: 33%Premium 5 minute: 48%Premium 1 ball: 24%Premium survival: 29%Score Goal ChartI'm still trying to fully fill out all the score goals needed for the various challenges with each table.

Just as predicted, I was able to fully upgrade Champion Pub on day 21. That means I'm still on track for having Safe Cracker upgraded by day 35, which will then have me back to fully maxed on all tables available.
