The questions came from somewhere out there. They are horrible and need fixing.

remove questions with an asterisk in the answer

The clues use asterisks for each unknown character, but you can't tell
when it's a literal and when it's a clue. Also, in a random sample of
19 removed questions, none of them should have ad an asterisk in the
answer.

Junk lines seemed to all end with spaces...

This commit deletes all lines that ended with spaces. This seems to bear a
striking correlation to the lines which made it into the question db by the
rogue nonsense-generator.

Fixes rawsonj#7

edunham did an awesome job killing a lot of these, but I noticed that not all of the bad questions are gone, so I'll leave the issue open.

While an editor is an ideal solution, I think there's a faster way. Add a player feedback mechanism, so players can report stupid questions, and then get one or more admins to send you the list of reported questions.

A list of questions with guesses and no correct answers might be reasonable too.

Such a mechanism will incur a lot of overhead. Not saying it's not do-able, but doing it well has costs.
