 * You can ask for questions at random one at a time. Each time you ask, you
 * pass a category id, and whether to pick from that category and all subcategories
 * or just that category.
 *
 * The number of teams each question has been used is tracked, and we will always
 * return a question from among those elegible that has been used the fewest times.
 * So, if there are questions that have not been used yet in the category asked for,
 * one of those will be returned. However, within one instantiation of this class,
 * we will never return a given question more than once, and we will never return
 * questions passed into the constructor as $usedquestions.
