Yeah more time seems like the biggest thing, or wider time windows is perhaps more accurate. Having a short time (for some) is part of the fun but the the window is so short where you have to be there and available or out of luck

The most ideal thing would be like:
Thread announces there is a task, running all day today. You only have one hour to do the task though.
You don't find out what it is till you're ready to go. Like you could say hey I'm free at 4 I'll receive the task then.
All the answers are done on time but revealed at the end

That way a task might run all day Tuesday and still be a fast one but everyone can participate as long as they have a free hour that day

How to accomplish? Like someone else said you could make them all more like the secret tasks but it would be tough to run. Or get a programming pal to make some kind of timed submission thing. Or post the task in a pastebin and honor system???
