Those of us who thinks best during day and live on the other side of the globe, might suffer from a contest starting US time. Maybe we could push a button and have the problem mailed to us. The time taken will then be calculated from the button-push to the posting time.
... and monks must promise not to forward the mail to someone else. But that would be quite unmonkish, wouldn't it ...

    I completely understand your concern. My thought was that multiple contest could take place all at different times of the day, for the different users.
    I do like your idea about having the push button that calculates time, but then when people submit their solution they will have to be emailed or something.
    We can't have the other monks having a sneak peak at the code before they hit the button.
