How the quizzes work
Flick reads every question out loud, and every answer is one of three big boxes, so there is nothing to type. Pick a box and Flick says why it is right, or why it is not. A wrong box goes pale and you can try another one: only your first pick counts towards your score, and nobody else ever sees it.
The questions come from the shop itself: the tricks on its shelves, the safety rules on every trick card, the words on the magic words page and the maths table for teachers. When the shop changes, the quizzes change with it. Every answer, and why, is printed under each quiz for a grown-up to check.
