This is cool, and I think the questions are all appropriate for visitors / prospective visitors. Minor suggestion - flip the sentences on the answer for the "which is faster question'. Give the short answer first, then the (semi detailed) explanation. Other ideas for questions - When was the first CPU invented How much memory does the Apollo Guidance Computer have (and answer how many X more memory a modern computer has). Or.. how much more memory does a Commodore 64 have than the AGC, etc. How many physical tools can a modern smartphone replace? (I.e. have a correct answer of 40+ or whatever and smaller numbers for incorrect answers) "Which computer was used by mainstream musicians such as Depeche Mode in the 1990s to make music" (work the word MIDI in there somehow).

I am trying to make a fun quiz about Vintage Computing. It will be emailed ahead of time to people who register for tours at The Computer Museum @ System Source. https://museum.syssrc.com/quiz/
1) Would love suggestions for more questions. Prompts can be text, Audio, picture or video. Answers are multiple choice. 2) Do you see any errors? Any suggestions?
I went to Claude and asked it to write the site using only Javascript, CSS, and html. I made up the questions (no AI involved)
