I see two possibilities.

One is to change the settings so while you continue to add the reply
to list header, you do not strip it out if present. Then the quizzer
can add the reply to header and the list will leave that, but
otherwise replies go to the list  ... unless someone has their email
program setup to add the reply to header to their mail, then replies
to their messages will not automatically go to the list.

A second solution is to have the quizzer add a token like [Quiz] to
these messages, and set the list to automatically hold all messages
with this token. You then accept the quiz, but reject the improperly
sent replies. You could just filter on Re:.*\[Quiz\] to avoid holding
the Quiz up, but this assumes that everyone who messes up where to
send the replies has their program properly set up to add the Re:
