Great for fun, don’t use for serious quizzes!

    This is an awesome and very flexible plugin for fun quizzes on your website, but it is not advisable to use it for serious quizzes because all the questions AND the answers are already in the page source code after loading. The part that reveals the correct answer is base64 encoded, but can be decoded in seconds with any online tool that offers base64 encoding/decoding.

    Even worse, if you have added explanations to the wrong answers, like I have, then these are all in the page source code in clear text for anyone to read along with the questions they belong to.

    So, again, absolutely great plugin for quizzes on a website where people cheating would only be cheating themselves, but this should never be used to seriously determine someone’s knowledge.
