You are talking about making a combined hash function from MD5 and SHA-1. Keep in mind that it is not trivial. For instance, if you just output both SHA-1 and MD5, you are actually only as strong as the weakest hash function (trivially for preimage, but also true for collisions, see [1]).
If you are interested in hash function combiners, have a look at Robust Multi-Property Combiners for Hash Functions [2], a recent paper on the topic. It aims at getting several properties at the same time (preimage resistance, collision resistance). For simpler schemes with a single property, just explore the bibliography at the end of the paper.
It might be useful to allow changing one's guess. It's pretty annoying when you misclick in the middle of the map and cannot pick the correct location.
