I'm not sure if it would work. But an idea for the next and last quiz is that people send me Questions and Answers over the forums
-One per person
-Not TOO difficult
-Appropriate

If so, I would ask that people don't tell others the answer to their questions and also to not answer their own question. 
So thoughts please and if you want send me a question.
