Incidentally, horst35 brought this problem of players not being keen to solve their own challenges to me just yesterday. He gave a couple of suggestions, including automatically making a challenge creator's own challenge solved when more than a certain number of players have solved his or her challenge.
That would introduce complexity into the ranking algorithm, which I'm hesitant to do - have yet to discuss it with Bio though.
But personally, I don't think it's an issue, because the number of challenges contributed by any single player hasn't reached a point where they form the bulk of the challenges.
And I was just talking to ZetaX about using a different shade of green for the creator's own solved challenges in the member's profile page where the challenges are listed.
That's done now (you would need to refresh the page for the CSS to work).
