# COMMUNITY CHALLENGE
#
# How would you test this Quiz#problem method? Only two rules:
#
# 1. The tests should fail if any part of the application breaks.
# For example: If "gets" is moved before "puts" then the tests should
# fail since that breaks the application.
#
# 2. You cannot change the Quiz class. But you can use whatever framework
# and tools you want for the tests. (RSpec, Cucumber, etc.)
#
# Note: The first rule used to be "no mocking" but I changed it. If you
# can accomplish the first rule with mocks then go ahead. I'm looking
# for the simplest/cleanest solution whatever that may be.
