What are these challenges for?

FUN, of course! If this isn't your idea of fun, ignore them; they're TOTALLY optional! You may find that you also learn something in the process. You will certainly exercise a few neurons (brain cells) and besides the GLORY of earning Germeraad Challenge Points, some challenges will involve other prizes as well.
