You need to make me five bags (easiest easy medium hard hardest) of which
the middle three will be used for real challenges, the outermost ones being
excluded. As a guideline, the easiest and hardest should have 2-3 titles
while the others should be roughly balanced between them.

This is a good question.

I hesitated for a while, but then decided that number 2 is more fair. One
can always do an "excluded" map as a FREE, if really keen.
