Numbered challenges

A numbered challenge is a set-up that never changes. Open clearance #340 or course #725 today or next year and you get exactly the same table, so you can come back to beat your own score or send the number to a friend.

Every challenge is generated from its number by the game itself and then played through by the computer to rate it. The ratings are honest simulation results, not guesses.
