Nathaniel,

You may want to classify the questions under some weight. You can't really
have a level 6 question about semi colon.

Also, when the boss questions are being computed, you should run more than
the 'example' given as a test, otherwise users can just cheat. For example,
I think one of the 'Boss' question was return the first 3 digits of PI as a
list, all i did was:

return [3,1,4]

Hope this helps.
