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)

"""
Takes two datetime objects and returns the time between d and now
as a nicely formatted string, e.g. "10 minutes". If d occurs after now,
then "0 minutes" is returned.
Units used are years, months, weeks, days, hours, and minutes.
Seconds and microseconds are ignored. Up to two adjacent units will be
displayed. For example, "2 weeks, 3 days" and "1 year, 3 months" are
possible outputs, but "2 weeks, 3 hours" and "1 year, 5 days" are not.
