Two questions need to be fixed.

The only female Prime Minister of the UK is one, the other is "Who is attributed to the above quote?".

One of the questions says:

What do the"casa grande" mean in English?

"Words" is missing, I assume.

A question that needs fixing: 'Who is currently second in line to the British throne?' - this is now Prince George, not Prince William.

Also 'What country did the Taliban rule from 1996-2001?' - obviously Afghanistan is still correct, but it might be worth mentioning that the Taliban has ruled the country again since 2021.

Love the quiz!

Maybe reword the Roman Numerals Question to indicate the answer must be in Roman Numerals as well? I'm a bit sleepy, but I was confused for far too long why my typing the answer in the decimal positional numeral system wasn't working. :) Love this quiz

Nice quiz! For the question who is currently second in line to the British throne, could you accept George as an answer, not just Prince George, please?
