Yep, it worked!!! :-D

I got the idea when I remembered that a few times, entirely by happenstance, I had already sent a character out on a job just to eat up time, then another character finished their job and had some dialogue text that assigned the next job in a quest chain and the job was the one that the character was already on. Once it was a long (8 hours or more) that the character had finished but I had not tapped on them to collect yet, but it still counted, at least that time it did.

Thankfully some of the Sacred Parchment tasks are short, like Milhouse's "Find Puppy Goo-Goo" at 10 minutes, and Snakes "Comb Bitchin' Hair" at only 45 seconds, but since we know all the answers before the scrolls unlock, we can start some of the longer ones early and finish them shortly after unlocking and reading the scroll.

The next thing I'll try is letting a few of them wait and then send multiple characters out on Sacred Parchment jobs at the same time and have them all end at about the same time (I won't get another prize till I've solved 15 puzzles, so might as well wait and do most if not all of the next 5 together) and collect on them one after the other. The key thing is to make sure that you've unlocked and read the scroll(s) before the character finishes the job and you collect.

I will report on the results in a few days.
