These "challenges" are so annoying. Clearly the tactic is to present "if you [do absurdly specific and unreasonable thing] then I will [change my mind about something", and when inevitably the unreasonable request is not fulfilled, it's an excuse to continue believing whatever it was you believed before. Infuriating.
