" 300 feed " quest daily 3 days in a row

Hello, um, it seems that the dailies have a problem. In fact, for 3 days in a row he has offered the quest to "feed 300 creatures". This is not normally possible, if I look at the updates post.
When I saw this quest yesterday, I thought I was wrong, and that it was actually something else on Friday, but here is the quest back today, when we already had 300 feeds yesterday and this time here, I'm sure of that... It seems like the difficult quest of feeding comes back every day, which is not supposed to be normal :?

@zoruna, I just wanted to thank you for confirming that I wasn't the only one noticing this. I sometimes get slightly confused due to my odd time zone, so knowing I'm not alone in seeing the oddness of the task is good to know. I wanted to share my thoughts on the other quest feedback topic, but I hesitated to double-post since my last post was the most recent one. I'm unsure if @Ian, @Orderedchaos, or another Mod noticed the same odd behavior with the feeds.

@zoruna @dragongirl02
I'm really just posting to say I checked my notes, and yes this is the third day straight for the 300 Feed task.

Thank you both for confirming my words, at least I am truly certain that it is not me who has false memories :")

@minnie298a Thanks for the confirmation!

This definitely isn't how it's supposed to be... And I'll point out (again) that the forum/profile posts daily often goes for 3+ days with the same thing as well (don't know about the past few days, just noting it as another instance of 'not suppose to work this way').

@Ian @Orderedchaos According to the blog post about dailies updates (https://eggcave.com/blog/monthly-challenge-updates-march-edition) :
"Beginning tomorrow, we're ensuring that the same level of difficulty of the selected site-wide dailies is never chosen two days in a row. "
and
"This is enforced for all daily types and difficulty tiers."

300 feeds multiple days in a row is a very obvious issue, but it's not the only 'multiple days in a row' issue. Can this please be looked into?

@heatherm19
Over the last 3 days the "Social" tasks (forum and profile) have been alternating. However at a quick glance we have had a couple of 3 and 4 days of the same task this month. I haven't typed out and tallied the data for a couple of months, so I'm not sure what the overall ratio is sitting at right now. It's in the tallying that I normally pick up oddities as well (like the 3 days of 300 feeds would have stood out drastically).

Personally, I don't mind the 3 to 4 day strings in the social tasks, mainly because there are only the two options for that bracket (and I prefer the profile over the forum ones).

I could also understand how the treble feeding happened, as there are only 3 options for that bracket. If the 20th and 22nd were meant to be 300 days and the 21st glitched.


Edited to add:
I typed up the tasks for June and they can be found here on Vellux.
The "300 Feeds" turned out interesting. Of the 9 days we were asked to do that task, 6 of them included the 14, 16, 18, 20, 21 and 22, So we were working on every second day that week before the glitch.

We also had a disproportionate amount of 200 Clicks, being 9 of the 11 days we were asked to do that.

As a side note, while Profile posts was slightly higher this month, we have been tasked with Forum posts 263 times as opposed to the 250 Profile posts.
