This has got to be the most infuriating quest ever! First you have to try and keep track of how many push-ups these losers do... there are 3 of them all going at different paces, and I gave up trying to keep track of how many each one had done in my head halfway through. I got lucky with my guess as to who didn't do enough, though, and moved on. And by moved on, I mean you have to wait for the next game day.
So the next game day comes around, and this time you hafta blow a whistle while they do sit-ups, by pressing Enter at the right time. And it has to be EXACTLY right. Many times it looked like I had perfect timing, but apparently didn't. Abquhbah will let you practice as much as you want before each attempt, but he only has you practicing while HE does sit-ups. There's only one of him, and the whole goal of this is to press it when the last of *3* NPCs finishes their sit-up. I got 10/10 on the practice after my second try, so I tried it... and I got 8/10. >.<; Apparently you need at least 9/10 to pass. So if you fail, you have to wait another game day just to do the same part over again! And every time you try again and fail, you have to wait another game day! I must have tried this like at least 5 times now (always getting 8/10 >.<), and I just can't get it! I can't even begin to explain how frustrating it is.
And from what I'm reading, even if I win this one, I have to wait yet ANOTHER game day and do an even MORE retarded "minigame." And of course, if I fail that one, more waiting game days to try again. I have to wonder what in the world SE was thinking with this game day waiting period between attempts. It honestly wouldn't be so bad if you could just try again back to back, with no wait.
Knowing SE, they probably think this quest was one of their best ideas in a long time. I can just see it now... in the next big update, they'll proudly announce that they are adding a feature that allows you to play the minigames from this quest over whenever you want, for crappy little prizes that no one wants. Only they'll be even more challenging. And again SE will think themselves brilliant for it. But now I'm just being bitter, I suppose, so I'll stop here. <.<;
EDIT: I finally beat the whistle minigame. 1/5 or 1/6 or something like that on it. ><; Now I'm 0/4 on the "race." /sigh One always seems to fall behind right at the end, when it is too late for me to get him up to speed. :/ I can't even really improve... I don't see how I'll ever beat this one, short of getting really lucky. These game day waits are so ridiculously pointless and frustrating. Even without them this quest would be really annoying. I just can't believe I never heard anything about this quest before doing it...
