It was mostly in jest as it's one of the things I test when doing
web development.  That said, the quizzes are mostly just HTML forms
where you pick the answer with a radio button and click the [next]
button.  There's not much interactivity there that hasn't been around
since the dawn of the web.

Additionally, I noticed that if I accidentally select an answer
(laptop track-pads aren't the most precise pointing devices), there
was no readily-apparent way to change/fix it before hitting [next].
