These quizzes haven't loaded in a while. It seems to be happening to everyone. When you complain, Quizzclub tells you to try using a different browser. The fault surely isn't with EVERYONE SUDDENLY USING THE WRONG BROWSER! 🤬 I'm certain the issue is at their end, but they're too lazy to do anything about it. 🤬

9/15, could have done a little better, but it was a good quiz--with answers! I'm surprised there was not even one question with the answer arriving from Greek or Latin...
