Thank you so much, guys! Especially, you Turoskel! <big hug>

I tested and played this challenge with a permanent first quarter moon! That explains it!
You can't believe how relieved I am to find a totally lucid and plausible explanation at last. I feel so much better already.  ;D

Edit to add:
I chose a first quarter moon, because ever since the Gnome Challenge, I have the superstitious belief that it promotes multiple adventure holes whilst mining.

@ Turoskel:
I really hated to have to ditch Uni, even if there are an awful lot more seeds to gather. The analyzing tool is such a help. Once you get use to it, it's rather cumbersome to work without it.
Knowing the exact percentage of plants I had to go for proved very useful, though. I could plant whatever and simply note whether this percentage went up or not.

I managed to plant an egg and one cheese from the fridge, but from there on, the omni chain was off-limits for me as well.

The journal is not showing the steak, patty or omni plant, and therefor i didnt even think about them. My skill showed 100% without them though, if that was a bug i dont know. But since it showed 100% i didnt care for plants anymore.

Definitely!

The journal won't show the money tree or the deathflower bush either. Did you think about those? I guess, you never got the 'Uncommonly Good' call then and did not plant an egg or cheese either?
It seems your bug - if that is what it was - gave you an unfair advantage and maybe you should have mentioned this to the team?

Whatever the case, I cannot congratulate you on a perfect score. I do congratulate you, however, on another victory. :)

This is indeed a tough call to make, especially since the challenge is already over. I will talk more about it with the team, but from the evidence it would appear that Lena had a bug resulting in her 100% score. But we have no clue what her score would be without the bug. We'd only be guessing. I hope there are no hurt feelings here.

Okay I have had a chance to talk to some members of the team. Even without the patty, steak, and Omni Plant, Lena's score is the winning score due to her 1.8 CM. So, that's not an issue here. The issue is how this was handled. Lena — you are a seasoned player and know what is fully possible as far as percentages. It would have been better to have approached the team with that perfect percentage because it was clearly a bug. SimBlip — I get why you called Lena out. But please contact members of the team instead of doing it publicly, so we can do our job as best we can. Anyways, let's put this behind us and move on.

Not trying to cause trouble but my journal showed the money tree and the deathflower bush I don't know that the percentage increased at all but it is shown in the journal that I have planted and harvested these.

Hi MomofMany,
I hope I don't cause more trouble by anwering.
Money trees and deathflowers won't show in the collection journal which you access through personal inventory. They will show up on the gardening skill page once you've grown the plants to mature state and harvested them.

Oh gotcha that is where I was looking so that is why I was confused! Thank you! Learn something new everyday!
