I've started playing in some of the challenges, and they are relatively easy, though the Jenifer Harman one might be tougher, I haven't tried it.

The first one I did was the Sit-n-go one, where you have to:
Not be the in the first 3 out 4 times
Fold medium strength hands (AJ KQ etc) in early position 7 or more handed 2 times
Shove AQ AJ or A10 5-6 handed once
Play 5 sit-n-goes with no more than 2% of your bankroll each time
Win 2 sit-n-goes

The 2nd one I did was the Pre-flop play, where you have to:
Mini-Raise strong hands UTG or UTG+1 3 times (AA-88, AK, AQ)
Raise to 2.5 bb with Medium and strong hands in middle position(AA-77, AK, AQ, AJ) 3 times
Raise to 3 bb in late position with anything except strong hands 3 times
Steal the blinds 5 times
Go 100 hands without open-limping 5 times(excluding blinds)

I was able to do these in a couple of hours, but I was playing 3 sngs at once and playing 4 cash tables for the 2nd challenge.

how do they keep track of it?

[klinkman]

It appears that the have an algorithim to process hand histories to see if you met the task defined by the challenge.
