I added a new Proof of Concept - this one on an authentication idea I had for lost passwords. Secret Questions suck, picking your own secret question sucks. Filling out a form of 100 items really sucks. Picking a few questions to answer out of 100 questions sucks because you have to read them all. But if we organize the questions in a way that they're very easy to "skim" we can present the user or attacker with 100 choices of questions to answer.

I also changed around some styles to try and make the site more readable.
