EDIT: Oh, there is.
By the way, I disagree with the quizzer's interest in having a list of presidents with names getting crossed off as you go. The puzzle is more challenging (and more fun) as it is.
My main worry was that the quiz could be a little too challenging for the general quiz-taker without the list. But of course there are always those who prefer it that way.
