Logos, there is an error in the Dante quiz. Question 14,

How many terraces are there in Dante's Purgatorio?

Your answer was: 7
Correct Answer: 9

There are seven terraces in Purgatorio, not nine.

Also question 5, why was Dante banished, the answer "because of his opposition to the church" is technically correct, but it should be clarified as being over political matters, not religious matters. The Pope was supporting a different political party than Dante's.

That was probably just a slip of selecting the wrong radio button, if you submit a quiz yourself you will see how tiny they are

Fair point, that answer has been slightly amended, thanks for pointing these out
