jbr3,

The code is most likely buggy and might be insecure because I'm not really
sure if hackers can use radio buttons to submit malicious stuff.
The idea is using the model structure Shawn gave. I created a custom form
class which extracts some Question instances. Since Answers foreignKey to
Questions, the answers linked to each question can be retrieved. There is a
function that takes these Questions and its related Answers and then
outputs the html for the form such that the Answers are displayed as radio
buttons. If the custom form comes in with data from the request, the
customForm determines how many of them are correct. If you go through the
code you would see how the boolean in Answer can be used to determine the
correct answer.
We can talk about my fee later :D ;)
If you still have issues let me know.
