Define the Models for implementing Quizzes (collections of Questions) and their Responses (collections of Answers to those Questions). These Models would form the basis of storage for such items as: Terms of Service (Quiz) Question ("I agree...") Response -> Answer (answer to "I agree..." confirmation) solution ("Yes" Answer to the "I agree..." Question) Mentor and Student surveys (Quiz) Questions (including "Pay this student?") Response -> Answers solution ("Yes" Answer to the "Pay this student?" Question) Organization applications Student Proposal review, comment, and scoring system GHOP task tracking (a specific task list item would be a Quiz) Patch by: Todd Larsen Review by: Pawel Solyga, Sverre Rabbelier, Chen Lunpeng Review URL: http://codereviews.googleopensourceprograms.com/1403

"""
The temp module provides a NamedTemporaryFile that can be re-opened on any
platform. Most platforms use the standard Python tempfile.TemporaryFile class,
but MS Windows users are given a custom class.

This is needed because in Windows NT, the default implementation of
NamedTemporaryFile uses the O_TEMPORARY flag, and thus cannot be reopened [1].
