My aim is to create a system that adds questions about the topic at the end of a post.

The features should be:

  1. Site authors should be able to create the questions in the post edit screen.
  2. Authors should be able to create as many answers they want and identify the right one.
  3. User will be able to select the answer in the front end and submit it via ajax.
  4. After submit, the right answer should be shown.
  5. It should be shown both in the front and in the back end which answers the other users picked up.

I had many ideas about how to achieve this, one of them involving PodsCMS.

I would to be to be directed to the most efficient one.

Thanks!

One idea could be to create a metabox that saves a serialize json data structure with the question, the answers, a flag for the right answer and the number of pickings. The drawback is that you have to manage the whole serialize data every time (hwr i don't think is a big strain for the database). – Bakaburg Jul 30 '12 at 15:17
Another solution could be attempted with podscms. I create a pod for questions and a pod for answers and I bind them via relationship. Then I bind the the question to the post. In the post i create a metabox the act as a UI to hide the pods creation. – Bakaburg Jul 30 '12 at 15:21

This sounds like a rather specific plugin request that may not be suited for this Q&A format. Perhaps a plugin already exists, but I don't know off hand.

Here's a quick Google search for something similar

If nothing exists already, I'm sure there are plenty of WP Plugin authors online that are willing to build something for you at a price.

Very well said, but this is not an Answer. More suited as a Comment. – brasofilo Jul 30 '12 at 16:08
This is true, I was debating which field to put it in. Noted! – MechEngineer Jul 30 '12 at 18:05
