I would like to see either the poll function have this ability added to it, or someone clone the poll function and adjust it to make it a trivia quiz. To explain further:

Member would make a post, and click an 'add a quiz' button, just like you click 'add a poll' now.

Member would then be able to specify the question

Member would then be able to use the text boxes, just like in the polls function, to add possible choices for the answers

Member would then be able to indicate to the backend which answer is the 'correct' answer (by maybe a checkbox that you could check beside the correct answer

Member would then 'post' the quiz.

Next member comes along and reads the quiz, and sees the question:

"What do monkeys like to eat?"
with possible answers, such as:

Starbucks coffee
Doughnuts
Apples
Bananas
Crackers

and the member picks the answer they think is correct, and submit (just like 'vote' in the current poll function)

Then they are shown the results, and if they have picked the correct answer, they get a 'you got it right!' message, and if they picked wrong, they get a "Sorry, the correct answer was 'x'".

Thanks for listening :)

great idea, but it has already been done as a commercial script/hack
