[Using Sakai] possible samigo timed test bug

[Tyler Beason]

We encountered this problem earlier this semester (and yes, it was because
students were accidentally resetting their scores to 0). I created a JIRA
for it https://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAM-2394. I'm not entirely sure
how it got fixed, I think just a new build of T&Q was pushed to our system
(we were also on 10.0 at the time), but we don't have this problem anymore.

Hope this is helpful,
Tyler
