Cannot access the challenge I was working on
After changing some of the challenges around (near Pi Hates Nines, etc), I cannot access some of the challenges. "Not Chess", "Floating", "Post Captain", "I Will Be Execute" are all gone now

the problem i have with Pi Hates Nines:
"Ever notice how there are practically no nines in pi? It's true. What's the longest sequence not containing a nine in the first million digits? (I want the sequence itself.)"
How do I post an infinite sequence? (or even a million digits)
Do I give the name of the sequence itself as the answer ("PI" or the number "3.14159..")
Are you asking for the section of PI that doesn't contain a nine for a million digits? Or are you asking for the name of a completely different irrational number?
I am confused about this and don't know where to begin.

sometimes the wording is a little ambiguous, and i appreciate it when this is mentioned. it's easy to create a challenge knowing what you intend it to be, but when other people see it they interpret it differently. i don't want the challenge descriptions to be confusing like this, so i'll try to clarify them when they're not so good. i've added some text to pi hates nines, should make it more obvious for others.
cheers,
adum
