-A sample question
-==================
-
-Here is an example of a good question and tests for it.  On the admin
-interface after you login, add a new question with the following fields:
-
-    Summary: Fibonnaci
-
-    Question: Write function called "fib" which takes a single integer
-    argument (say "n") and returns a list of the first "n" fibonacci
-    numbers.  For example fib(3) -> [1, 1, 2].
-
-    Points: 1
+The file sample_questions.xml is a template that you can use for your
+own questions.
 
-    Test:
-    assert fib(3) == [1, 1, 2]
-    assert fib(6) == [1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8]
