Description
The random task you see when you go to the site without being logged in is sometimes from a project that is visible but a challenge that is invisible.
The task pool for the 'not logged in' state should only consist of visible tasks.

Research direction
Start by tracing the backend/API code that selects a random task for users who are not logged in, then inspect how project and challenge visibility are checked. The fix is complete when that task pool contains only visible tasks, including when a visible project contains an invisible challenge.
