Then why use it in the first place?

No one will. That's why there will be many answers that aren't even a link or won't say which riddle they tried to solve. Or forgot to check the deadline. The last two things won't happen with one riddle at a time. It also complicates debating the riddles.

(see: Karin for when interval deadline is; we could probably use the calendar for this as well)

I like the calender idea!

I still think that system only complicates things unnecessarily, though.
I even think it keeps people from trying to solve the hard riddles - there's still an easier alternative after all, so why agonize over the first one?

It's just my opinion, if your system gets used - alright! But I personally would pefer the simple structure of one riddle at a time
