[How To Do Everything] Re: did we ever resolve the difficulty thing

You're totally right. I goofed in my statement. (I haven't played in looong
while.) I mean, it makes sense. If the highest starting Strength is a 7, the
Difficulty range of 1-10, being the task's "Strength", balances out. It does
add a bit of extra randomness to the test, but it allows even a Gomer Pyle to
manage a miracle...which is fun too.

... From what I read, the difficulty number is a set target number decided on by the TM. The range is 1 to 10....

The difficulty level is 1-10  vs a roll of a d10 + any skills modifiers, ST does not add to the DL check. Yes it is simple and very easy to beat a 5.  That...

... But it shouldn't be easy for a ST 1 character to beat a 5, and under that interpretation he'll beat 6 and lower more often than not. If DL ranges from 1...

I agree with all your points. But I guess I did not make mine clearly enough.  TWERPS is about easy roleplaying.  You want to get heavy with the details go...

Well argued!  I concede the argument, on these grounds, to you.  I have always played with my interpretation of the rules, but yours are vetted as well. as...

I think I understand. An easy task can still be difficulty of 1 + a roll of 1 on the d10 being a 2. I think the standard of 5 (average) + 5 (average on d10) of...
