Me as well. I began with many days to spare as always, and currently I am short two days thanks to this glitch...which the developers seem to be ignoring.
This actually was aimed at the mystery quest...the one before mystery mountain was available. But, I appreciate your helpful information just the same.
That is definitely an option, and yet I only seem to ever have 2 people willing to help...so I have learned it is quicker and easier to go through mystery quest. I thank you for your insight though!
