Who cares, mate? The prices were pretty underwhelming to begin with. Why not simply enjoy the fact there was a celebration, you got to solve some puzzles, and had a chance at winning something.
You didn't. I didn't, either. Shrug it off, and better luck next time.
By the way, there wasn't really much effort involved. Day 1 could easily be done using online tools. Day 3 took all of 2 minutes of work. Day 4 was easy if you know how a Wiki works, and checked the last few changes made. I don't even recall exactly what day 5 or 6 were. One was a math issue that didn't take long to crack either, though. As for day 7, that's highly subjective.
Again, very little effort required in any of the challenges. The prices and your chances of winning one reflect the amount of effort involved. If it would have taken countless hours of deciphering algorithms, visiting countless sites for research, or fulfilling quests that ended up taking hours and hours to finish, I'd be right n the barricades with you. But I think I spent less than an hour in total on all these challenges, and while an hour of my professional time would be rather expensive, this was entertainment.
