We won't tell you if your answer is wrong or right, we'll update
this leaderboard every time we give the solutions to a riddle. You can send multiple answers, but we will only look at the latest one. Even if your previous submissionr was right, we won't give you points if your latest submission is wrong (for the same riddle that is).
You guys can certainly catch up, even if you start now.

You'll be able to see for yourself when the riddle closes and the answer is posted. If you meant before then, no. You get infinite re-submissions, so we can't really just tell people when they're wrong, or they'd just keep guessing till they got it right.
Think it over, and be confident with the answer you submit.

[S]Running back and forth trying to find Mika, Trista finds herself once again asking the old woman from before if she knows of her pet’s whereabouts, and once again, the old lady asks Trista to help her with an issue of her own before letting on.
The old lady asks, â€If 14 days after 70 days ago was 21 days before three days after a tuesday, what day will it be in 7 days before 83 days after today?â€
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Hint 1: This puzzle would need a full on calendar if you want to go back that many days. A simple list of the days of the week won't cut it. (Or will it...?)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Hint 2: There's something in common with each numeral. If you can see the pattern, this puzzle is as good as solved.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Hint 3: All the numbers except for three are multiples of 7. There are also seven days in a week...

[S]At the end of the day, Trista reluctantly heads home. Having only secured one good lead (ironically from the old woman with no sense of time) she decides to just call it a day and head out tomorrow. Mika, however, would have no such luck.
While he certainly would have liked to stop and make a little ferret-sized campsite for himself, he had one large obstacle in his way. You see, he had finally made his way out of the city and to the large stone door that marked the entrance to the ruins where the treasure slept. Mika intended to set up camp just inside, but the door won’t budge.
“Let’s see,†Mika muttered to himself as he read various engravings, “I’m supposed to choose the figurine named ‘White’ and rotate it 180 degrees? That’s easy, the white cat is right here. Wait a minute...that’s too easy!â€
Five cat figurines arranged in a row. They are of five colors, and each cat is named after a color. The colors are, Purple, Blue, White, Green, and Black. However, none of the cats are the same color for which they are named. There is an engraving underneath the cats that says:
-There are two cats between Green and Black.
-Purple and the purple cat are both on the edges.
-Black and the black cat are both touching either Purple or the purple cat.
-Neither Green nor Purple are touching White.
Which cat is White?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hint 1: Keep in mind that the question only asks for which cat is named white. You do not need anything other than that.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hint 2: Pay close attention to when a statement refers to the name of a cat versus the actual color of a cat. If you can help from getting mixed up, this puzzle will be much easier.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hint 3: There isn't enough information to determine all the correct color and name combinations. Don't try to find that out. There is, however, enough information to find out which cat is named White. That's all you need.

I'm not sure about the grammar as far as punctuation is concerned, but the syntax is fine.

Ahaha, I totally didn't time it that way on purpose. (Though, I secretly wish I could have seen the look on your face.)

Kueh, are the cats arranged by color in the order you listed? If not, you might want to specify that.

It is possible to solve it with just the information given above.

It's as Chihaya says. They might be in that order, they might not be.

Capitalized colors refer to ONLY the name of the cat and lowercase color in front of cat refers ONLY to the color?

Normally, I wouldn't want to talk too much about what the puzzle means instead of giving hints, but this one requires that clarification, I think.
Yes, capitalized colors are the name of the cat. When describing the cat's color, not only is the color lowercase, but it's in the form "the (color) cat".

I found multiple colors the White cat can be while following all 5 rules.

All I can say is examine the puzzle again with greater scrutiny. I'll try to make tonight's hint helpful for you.
