That's probably the number of the beast :P
I was having problems with adding the 256th challenge (your challenge) to my local computer. As I had just reinstalled my C drive, I thought perhaps I had missed some steps to get Rankk to run on my local computer. It took nearly an hour of figuring out before it finally hit: the challenge id was defined as "tinyint unsigned".
The limit for that is 255 and my script "crashed" attempting to add the 256th challenge.
ZetaX was unable to rankup probably due to that bug. I fixed two of the tables (changing the challenge id to smallint) but missed the third one.
It's all good now. The next limt is 32767, so we can add another 32511 (or 32767-256) without hitting the max. Assuming one new challenge per day, that'll take nearly 90 years to reach. By then, we'll all be dead ;)
