If you have enough slots in your casual wear factory - you can artificially give yourself over 24hrs not 12 hours to do an order.
I've just managed to complete the solar challenge and keep my 8 balloon order going, but only by doing the above and shutting and opening the game at strategic times. As I already posted - I believe this to be stupid and nothing to do with tactical game play.
What's more I learnt over the weekend, there is no link whatsoever between difficulty of orders and tickets awarded.
I delivered a very difficult boardwalk ordered and was miffed to get 10 tickets. I lost internet signal a few seconds later and when it recovered, it was showing the order undelivered - I delievered again and got 15 tickets !
