The new event is the third challenge festival.
Just like the previous event, they have two SR cards,
Nozomi and Hanayo.

This time the scores required for the Nozomi cards are
25k, 60k, and 100k.  It's still the top 50000 people for
the second Hanayo card, so that might need somewhere
close to 100k.

The first challenge festival went over 100k, for Maki.
I think the score was high because of Maki, and also
because it was the first challenge festival.
The second challenge festvial was Rin, and went to only 83k.

Right now, the score is below the Maki but above the Rin.

I hope it stays below the Maki score.. but the previous event
went really high, and I think these double SR events might
be making this game popular again.

Recently I've started seeing people playing this game on
the train.  A couple years ago, I always saw people playing
this game.  But in the last year, it was very rare, until
recently.  In the last week I saw at least one person every
day playing this on the train!  Also more young OL types
than otaku guys.
