Hi Jenny,

The problem lies in that once a quiz is taken, by any given username,
that username cannot 'modify' the existing results row in the
database.  Meaning, a new username would have to be created and then
only the 1st submission of the quiz results would count.

It would take some serious retooling, I think, to allow multiple quiz
submissions by the same username.
