The only suggestion I can make is to make a way to turn off easy mode so you can get something hard done then turn it back off to continue the challenge.
Then there would be no challenge at all. If easy mode could be turned on and off at will, there would be no threat to the challenge, and it would undervalue the play mechanics.
