If you're one of the several Wranglers who've helped address our Daily Wrangle challenges: 1) Thank You! and 2) Hopefully, we're about to make your life easier.

Debuting today a top the site is our new challenge tracker. This allows anyone to find all open challenges in one convenient location. We'll continue posting new ones (now once per day) on the main blog, but at any point in time the tracker can show you all open challenges with links to their original posts.

You may notice each challenge is associated with a point total and users accumulating the most are displayed on a leaderboard (over along the right hand side of the page). As a means of rewarding Wranglers for good word, points will eventually earn you different profile badges to display and eventually open you to new site access levels, such as gaining the ability to pose questions on our Quora forum.

What are the point totals you ask? Here's a list of possible scores you can achieve listed in order of points for easy challenges to points for more difficult ones. Each was inspired by a pop culture entity:

First level: 8 (8-bit)
Second level: 42 (Hitchhiker's Guide)
Third level: 64 (Commodore 64)
Fourth level: 300 (the movie)
Fifth level: 420 (Snoop Dogg + The Chronic)
Sixth level: 1138 (THX 1138)
Seventh level: 2001 (Space Odyssey)

To date, most challenges score 64 and below. Keep up the good work and we'll start issuing higher level tasks in no time.

Happy Wrangling.
