That's a good point.  You're right.

If I do this though we now have two new rules:  [QUIZ] and [QUIZ  
SOLUTION].  I don't want to get too draconian with Ruby Quiz procedure.

I'm not too worried about people bumping into solutions accidentally  
either, since the "no spoiler period" handles this quite well, in my  
opinion.

I'll add a suggestion to the quizzes for a [QUIZ] in the subject and  
we can see if that changes anything...

Thanks to all for bringing this to my attention.
