They're more so mental exercises, obviously there's no real practical use to quine's in the Graal world unless you wanted to make some over the top self-replicating virus.

I.e: Reads level links, leaves a mark, moves on to the new levels, and dies upon entering a marked level while wreaking whatever havoc using any side functions it has. The script should be able to remain in the level, and if re-uploaded the replication process begins again.

The newer scripters could at least attempt the exercises, and maybe even do research of their own before giving up.
