I can’t speak for anyone else, but I think that Jens does a great job of coming up with the challenges that he does. To me scripting is more than just accomplishing a real world task, it is a challenge of the mind.
I am the kind of person that takes a challenge like a dog would take a bone, I don’t like giving it up. I don’t think I am a great scripter, but I do think I get a little better every time I try.
There might be solutions on the web somewhere but I try to expand the way I think by forcing myself to come up with an original way of accomplishing the task.
I don’t think it matters what the challenges are called, but I do think that they help us grow in our abilities to script. KiXGolf does not really promote the best way to script,
I think it is more about the challenge and the least number keystrokes. I think that Doc has the right idea for scripting beginners, teaching a more proper way of scripting.
I think there is a varied level of experience for all the users of this forum, and having a mid level challenge would be good as well.

The reason that I find myself unable to compete in the official Golf challenges is not so much my extremely high scores, but the fact that I have problems with creating the formula needed to accomplish the given task.

Imho, in a way it does. In order to play, you need to know what other solutions for a problem are possible in kix. You also learn new ways in the public round. Sure, in the game you only use it to narrow your keystrokes, but it also trains your ability to use this knowledge the next time you have a realworld task, doesn't it?
