Example quiz released

#1

Post by OzEclipse »

I have posted a 2 question quiz as an example of the way quizzes will be bilingual in English and French from now on whenever I have time to do both.

The question will first be posted in English. Below that, the same question posted in French. The number of characters in the answers field is limited so if answers are short, English / French will be separated by a forward slash. Otherwise the translations of the multiple choices will be translated to French immediately below the French question.

English speakers can ignore everything but the English portion of the Q & A.
