Nice quiz, although I wish you'd have more time, the timing is a bit close for questions where you e.g. have to convert a base 6 number into base 2 in just 30 seconds.
Apart from that, for question 34 I'd say that ALU is also a type of hardware for the computer, since it's a physical part of the CPU.[1]

Thanks Night Lemur for the comment, my aim is to prepare student to be time conscious and should be able to manage it well, especially under scenerios of time limited examinations, but I didn't consider people with dyslexia. I'll put this into consideration.
Mighty Fox author
And for the ALU question it's a hardware true but it also a software that interacts with the physical components of the computer. The other option is obviously hardware.
Night Lemur
Mighty Fox No actually, the ALU isn't also software, it's just hardware, as it consists of electronic circuits integrated in the CPU.[2] Calling the ALU "software" would be like calling the CPU software, which it clearly isn't.

Mighty Fox author
Night Lemur Hmmm you're right this was a slight misunderstanding for me actually,
Software- non physical

Thanks for this, I'll put this into consideration
Night Lemur
Mighty Fox No problem, and good luck for the rest of the competition!
