Thank you for taking the effort to submit your test for the contest.
Unfortunately, this test will not be able to receive a prize:
Missing explanations. All explanations simply repeat the correct answer.

Yes, there is unfortunately one error. The question asks what note is displayed, and gives the correct answer as "A" when the actual correct answer is "B". The explanation, however, is correct. Thank you for pointing out the error.

The explanations are pretty useless. They give no new information and don't justify the answer in any way. The quiz could have been better formulated to provide a richer learning experience.

In one question, the correct answer B is marked as incorrect, though the explanation says B, which is correct.

Regarding the "useless explanations", when creating the quiz, the Telegram desktop client was used for testing. This client only gives the user about one second from answering a question to asking the next one. For this reason, very brief and to-the-point explanations were written. On the quiz.directory website, the user has the ability to choose when to start the next question by clicking "Next". This allows time for much richer explanations. However, because this feature is lacking from the Telegram client, and the quiz.directory website was not available for testing before the contest deadline, the explanations provided were appropriate for the given time with the tools available.

Magic Hyena It's true that the time between questions is less on @Quizbot. But there's no restriction as to when I may see the explanations. I can always go back and view them at ANY point in time, not necessarily while taking the quiz. This is no reason for not having better explanations.
