Cool quiz! Do you mind if I make one? I've been working on an "explorer" series in the past few months (like this) and I was thinking about doing one for Alexander. The format of the quiz will be different, I just want to make sure you're okay since it's a similar subject.

It's for nothing, I just don't know how to remove it...
