Pretty cool! However, some riddles are incorrect, for example this one has two errors:

  def foo( vals ):
    output = vals[0]
    for x in vals[1:]:
      if output
1. It should return output

2. The answer should be "The maximum value", not "The minimum value"

Also, it could be nice if after you solve a riddle you would get a new one.

Thanks for pointing this out! It's fixed now

Wouldn’t a better idea be to show a question on Stack Overflow which is somewhat upvoted but still without an accepted answer?

Sounds good, doesn't work.

Doesn't work as in technically? or the concept? or legally?

If the question is remaining unanswered for a while, it's probably beyond open-new-tab kind of timespan to answer it.
