It would be really nice if a person could create quizzes just for fun. They could write in responses to each question without actually having any grading system at all. So, no matter what the quiz taker answers, they get the same response.
This would be a lot easier than having to write custom PHP code in. Here's an example:
Which happening of which day of the week of which month is this, in Japanese?
Instead of having to write out a script that prints "the second Thursday of the third month" in Japanese, somehow (yeah, I have no idea how, and I think it would take hours to figure it out), you could just write something like: "It's the xth today of this month." Which sound like a gag answer, but it's a huge time saver.
People who want to focus on creating content quickly could use this. I'm sure that there are other applications. And I know that learning is important, but I think that this is the least restrictive way to write quizzes. Therefore, it is also the fastest and easiest and should be an option.

If i understand it
If i understand it correctly,
To create such a quiz:
question: where is the g.d.o for quiz
answer: at http://groups.drupal.org/quiz
When showing the quiz, a quiz take will not see the answer field unless he submita his answer,whatever that is.
This would like a user post a quiz with answer. When the node is published, unless a user trigger a "see answer" bottom, the answer wouldn't show up in the node.
I was just trying to say that
I was just trying to say that it would be nice to be able to create quizzes that superseded the scoring mechanism. Sometimes, the point is not the points, but just the delivery of the answers. I suppose 'creating a lesson', as in the FAQ, is a viable solution, but the key isn't to show the answer and question on the same page. It's still nice to have the students think about what the answer might be. There's just no sense in grading when there are multiple possible short answers that could be correct.
Here's another example:
"What's your favorite color?"
Answer: *
Result: Great! I like that color, too.
And another:
"How would you describe a frog?"
Answer: Long answer/essay.
Result: A picture of a frog with the caption: "If you described this, you are correct."
So, the student could really answer anything. In the end, they'll get the same result. There is no need to involve a point system because it would be a waste of resource. There's no need to create an unnecessary spam vulnerability in one's inbox or send data to a spoof email address, either. Instead, it would be nice to just have a kind of no-points system available.
To answer your specific question: yes, 'see answer' at the bottom would be an essential part of this, and a trigger is a great solution.
