When I hear one?

Hi! everyone.
Could you rephrase these sentences? I could not understand them?
-I can recognize a challenge when I hear one.
-I know a lie when I hear one.
and also this one-Now there's a challenge if ever I heard one.
What does the above sentence mean? And when do we use "if ever"?
Thanks!

AlpheccaStarsBob: Jill, I want you to lose 20 pounds in the next 2 months.
Jill: That's a challenge if I ever heard one.
Does this mean-That's a challenge which I have never dealt with before?
But it will not be business as usual for many months,

That's a challenge if I ever heard one.

No, it means that you think it's a very large challenge, probably impossible to meet.

I never heard a more difficult challenge.
