There is a question that states "Modern country where it was discovered" which is supposed to follow a question, but since they appear in a random order it doesn't appear in the right context.

Yup, that was an unintended error. Fixed now.

There was another question that asked "Greek name of that Roman god". What was the previous context?

A common trend with these quizzes is that I’m realizing how little I actually know about space lol. I got a modest 7 (8 if I actually remembered it’s phosphorus not phosphate). I had fun!

For me the randomizer doesn't work. I think all possible questions show up (over 100). I know a bit about space, but it seems a bit too challenging to answer everything with not even 2 seconds per question.

I removed a caveat today morning, and I think it sort of removed the randomiser. Sorry about that , I fixed it now.

Planet WHOSE orbit crosses, not WHO'S.

Also, lose the questions that aren't actually solar system questions.
