Just to be clear, from the scoring criteria:

"+1 Body Point for every 2 successes after the first"

Does that actually mean "for every 2 successes after [what's required for a basic success]"? Because that would mean it takes 4 successes to get an extra point, not 3.
Correct. You need to succeed at the TN 2 first. And then eveey 2 additional successes rolled after that. So 4 rolled successes equals 2 points, 6 for 3 points, etc.

Would the Dangerous Allure distinction apply to the performance part of the challenge? Only if using the Fire Ring perhaps?
No. It isn't about how attractive you are.

Clarification on "+1 Body Point for using Hida Hikaru's favored approach, if successful on the initial roll": does this mean that only Step One of the event has a favored approach in effect?
+1 Event Point per roll.
Wait, so if we guess the correct ring and there are three rolls that's a +3 to your end score?
Yes.

It looked like the bonus +1 for selecting the correct approach would apply to any rolls that were passed to me. So for instance, if earth is the right approach I would assume i'd get +2 points. I rolled earth for three, passed the first two, so would only get the bonus point for the first two. But I could be wrong.

If you succeed on a roll, you get the +1 applied to that roll if you used the correct approach.

If you do not pass that particular roll, and used the correct approach, you do not get +1 point for trying it with the correct approach.

No, I can say that no judge has 2 Favored approaches on any one roll.

I'm not about complicating my life that much.
