Happy to do a Japanese version of this.

Basically copy it and send me the link, add my user ID in the collaboration section 83115 and I will do the rest.

The link needs to be the create quiz link and not the final completed one.

It just says "Un unknown error occurred" when I try to put in either your username or ID. I'll try again a little later. Sometimes I've had bugs on Jetpunk that have just disappeared the next day.
