Favors - no guarantee?

Is it correct that favors are not guaranteed each day? I am not subscribed, so most days I get my 3 cases + 1 favor.

On some occasions when I've made a mistake, I haven't gotten a favor that day and have assumed it was an additional penalty along with the 'black mark.'

I can often find someone needing a favor after 2 correctly solved cases. Today, at that point nobody had anything. While working on case #3, still nobody needed a favor. I eventually had to quit that case, and still nobody was asking.

I have never been refused a favor after 3 correctly solved cases...so I'm guessing there's some type of formula involved that includes wrong guesses or quits.

Can anyone give further details?

that one would be a no last train. Sometimes if i am in a hurry i deliberately don't do favors, i've gone days without doing them, but i always only have that one favor waiting for me, then its more cases before another one

Exactly...like I have the Pod right now as a favor that Ive been holding for a couple days. That favor will stay there until I do it...no new ones pop up.

sorry last train. I tried that--worth a shot,eh?
but I (only tried this twice-so I may be off) did 6 and it only worked as if I had done 3. 7 cases acted like 4. ect

Um, so Rock, what DID your information mean? Could you try explaining it again, if you still think it's accurate?
