Well, while that's an interesting idea, I'm not sure that this group
really does have a shortage of easy quizzes.  Back when mjd was doing
it, the easy and expert quizzes were alternated.  Since then, there's
been a shortage of any quizzes at all, not just easy quizzes, and only
recently has any quiz been posted.

So we should remember to continue to post easy quizzes as the list
starts up again.
