      Description

      The quiz has logic to try and reuse random questions if they exist and are not in use, but because change in the question text handling, it is broken.

      Question text should be '0' for no-includesubcategories, and '1' for includesubcategories. Under the current code, it is either '' (blank) or '1'.
