Build a 'mechanical turk' system

The system will poll people for answers to yes/no questions that are easily answered by humans but not by machines. If a certain number of people give the same answer to a question, it's marked as resolved and polling for that question ceases. If people give different answers to the same question, then polling will continue until a consensus is reached and that question can be marked as resolved.

When someone has answered a question, they may view a summary of all answers to that question.
