The information about today's challenge is in the post you quoted, as well as in the second post of this thread - but feel free to ask more detailed questions about it, if you wish.
In relation to whether or not it is "open to the public", you have to enter the competition in order to be able to participate in these daily challenges. However, participation is free (assuming you would be betting anyway), quick (just make an entry post in the Registration Thread, and you're in), and painless.

Hmm challenge will be edited / changed every day like this quote. Ok I understand still waiting for the next challenge
