Description

I found a quite hard riverbank problem (Jotos Multipolygon fixes) but solved it!
One other mapper had marked the task as "too hard".
Probably it would be nice to be able to find tasks which were too hard for other mappers.

This would keep the low hanging fruits for other mappers.

Research direction

Start in the MapRoulette back-end/API and trace how tasks are filtered or searched, then find where the "too hard" status is represented. Define the filtering behavior for tasks marked too hard and verify that the API can return those tasks without excluding existing filters. No specific files or tests are named in the issue.
