OK, thanks.  Worked with no problems.

As an administrator, I'd be curious to get the actual text of missed
problems (maybe via URL), not just a raw percentage (I got 90% i.e. 2 wrong
-- probably the one about getting current working directory, not sure which
other).

The problems seemed to get much easier in the last 5 or so (very basic
syntax questions).  The one about "James"=="james" returning -1 is no longer
true on some Pythons (as now we have boolean True).

The font used to pose the questions was a little distracting.  I vastly
prefer fixed width fonts when programming.  I know that's a personal
preference (some actually like variable pitch -- blech).  Perhaps as a
future enhancement, you could let the user customize the font?

Anyway, a useful service.  I could see teachers like me wanting to use this
with our classes.

Thank you for giving me this opportunity.

Kirby
