I came across an intersting medical quiz site called bigneedle.com and saw a very interesting way of marking the quiz. I am sharing it here so that somewhere at the back of our minds, this method should exist, too in case it can possibly be developed for moodle's enhancement.
What it really does is, the moment a question is presentd to you, it has 10 marks shown on a scale on the right. As you take time to mull over the questions, these marks go on reducing. I had prepared a video for you all but it bacame of 10 mb so see these screenshots and if you are interested, see http://bigneedle.com/trybolus.php
NOTE: THE POINTS FOR THE QUESTION ARE ON RIGHT SIDE VERTICALLY AND WATCH THEM GO DOWN AS I TOOK TIME TO THINK ABOUT THE ANSWER.

There's a point at which something like this would encourage students to guess and just take their chances rather than bother to answer the question simply because actually trying to understand the question would not be to their benefit.
And how do you decide at what speed to count down the question? There are some questions that will require more time and others a shorter time. Can we count on the individual teacher to be able to time the questions appropriately or will it be one-time fits all?
This sort of thing might work if you have a big organization that tests the questions in some manner before they are actually used on a real test, but I don't think introducing such a variable haphazardly is wise.
I think there are better ways the quiz developers can be spending their time than this.
