The entry requirements and task is utterly trivial and the intellectual and academic challenge isn't much of a big deal for anyone with average (or perhaps slightly above average) IQ but the motivational aspect is ridiculous.

Isn't that what I said?

No, you said it was "really very easy", which implies that the motivation aspect is trivial. Something can be difficult FROM a motivational standpoint.
