The "front-end" is the way the program interacts with whatever is using it. The "back-end" is how the program stores the information it's using and gets its work done. So a "web front-end with SQL back-end" would be a piece of software that you can access with a web browser and stores information on an SQL server.
Most likely, Yahoo! Answers is a web front end with an SQL back end. Human beings use it through its web front end, the web pages you use to submit questions, read answers, and so on. It internally stores the questions, answers, accounts, and so on using an SQL database somewhere.

SQL stands for "Standard Query Language" which is a language used to send querys to a database the querys are confusing and hard to follow if you dont know the language (eg. "SELECT * FROM [track] where [LastVisit]= '" & TextBox1.Text & "' ") , a "front end" is used to put a graphical interface or similar to act as a interface between the user and the database. Making it more useable and easier to manage.

It means they want you to display data stored in a SQL database on a Web page.
"Front end" means the publicly viewable part of your Web site.
"Back end" means how you go about presenting the publicly viewable information.
Front-end / back-end is obsolete terminology; it is now called MVC (model-view-controller).
