Challenge: Exploring the Layout Inspector
For support debugging layout file issues, the layout inspector can be used to interactively inspect how
a layout file is rendered to the screen. To use the layout inspector, make sure GeoQuiz is running in

clicking the elements within the layout inspector view.
