Sorry for not making that more clear.  I forgot that everyone wouldn't 
know the Perl Quiz of the Week.

You basically have it though, yes.  A summary not so much as "answer" 
as a write-up comparing and contrasting submitted solutions.  Often a 
summary will show performance against a test suit, give timing 
information, and/or compare code length of submissions.  They also 
point out interesting tidbits from the submitted solutions and then 
generally walk completely through one of the available solutions, 
describing how it works.  Summaries may also point to interesting 
messages from the discussion of that quiz.

Hope that clarifies what I meant.  My bad.
