  Rain, I expect to see the first one's answer to be posted soon.

  so are the going one after another or both at the same time?

  
  
  The same time. Also, the first riddle will end near midnight tomorrow, not tonight, so you'll find out then, hehe.

  Likewise, the smaller man can only hold one, and it takes him forty-five seconds.
  

  
  
  Wait, does this mean it takes 45 seconds to go up and down? Or 45 seconds to go up, then another 45 seconds to go down?

  [S]“Mika? Oh! You mean that cute little clockwork ferret! Yeah, he was snooping around the warehouse looking for some old relic or another,” came what felt like the very first straight answer that Trista had been given all day.
  
  “Oh, thank you! I’m so relieved,” she sighed, “So...where is he?”
  
  “Ah, well I couldn’t just let him run around the warehouse, so I put him in my coat pocket.”
  
  “Well...can I have him?”
  
  “Of course! Of course!” the warehouse worker laughed, “Here you are, one ferre--Hey! This isn’t my coat!”
  
  “Of course it isn’t,” Trista muttered under her breath, “Who has your coat, then?”
  
  Five workers are heading home from a day of work, but they seem to have mismatched all their coats. So badly, in fact, that not one person is wearing their own coat! In order to help find out whose coat is whose, they line up, like so:
  

  A,B,C,D,E

  
  A says, “I know this jacket belongs to either C or E.”
  B says, “I see someone at the end is wearing my coat.”
  C says, “I’m pretty sure this coat I’m wearing does not belong to A.”
  D says, “Neat! Both B and I are are wearing coats that belong to people at the ends.”
  E says, “From left to right, I can see that my coat is after A’s coat.”
  
  Find the proper owner of all the coats being worn.
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Hint 1: People at the ends are referred to twice. They are either A, or E, since everyone lined up.
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Hint 2: B's statement and D's statement don't seem to be very helpful. They're saying almost the same thing. Maybe E's statement can help...
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Hint: Don't get confused by the way E worded his statement. All he means is that his coat is somewhere to the left of A's coat. He doesn't mention anything about the people wearing the coats.

  [S]Meanwhile, Mika puzzled over a conundrum of his own. “How the heck am I supposed to read this stupid map? There are no landmarks! Only the path that I’m supposed to take.”
  
  The map that Mika has will lead him one step closer to the treasure. It shows the path that he’s supposed to take, and the streets that lead there, however it doesn’t tell him where to start, or where to stop. Only streets. Directions are to start off going straight, and then take the first left. Then go straight at the next intersection, and take the first left after it. After that, take the first right, and then the next left. Where is the destination? (Your answer should be in the form of a letter then a number.)

  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Hint 1: Left and right here refer to turns you would make if you were actually on the streets. Try to imagine actually walking around on that map, or rotate the map so that whatever direction you're traveling is up.
  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Hint 2: There is only one starting position with one starting direction that will lead you to the destination. Starting anywhere else, or even starting in the right spot and going in the wrong direction will result in you having to turn into nothing! (Also, although you need to find the correct starting position, the answer should only be the destination you arrive at.)
  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Hint 3: Draw the directions first, then put it on top of the map. When you get it so that none of the path is off the map, you've solved it.

  I want to go to sleep early tonight, so you guys get to have today's puzzle early. I'll put up the scores for the first puzzle tomorrow, though I put the answer up, so you will at least know if you got it right your own self.

  Will you tell us if our submitted answer is wrong, or do we have to find out that it is wrong ourselves through the hints?
  And can you even send more than one answer, if the other answer is after a hint is given?
