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
