I am in the "How to Make a Website with WordPress" project with Zac Gordon, module 4 "Custom Post Types and Fields in WordPress".
I actually tried a month ago to pass this 5 question quiz, and after about 5 attempts and watching the videos 3 times, couldn't do it. So I threw my computer out the window, got a baseball bat, and office space'd it. (kidding)
After a month I decided to give it another go. I've watched all three videos again, gave the quiz another shot, and after 3 more attempts I still cannot pass.
Being that it is multiple choice and the fact that I've now watched the videos 4 times through, I am starting to question my sanity.
Anyone else struggled with this section?

1,354 PointsI am in this section and got stuck displaying exactly what he has in the video. I went back to level 1 and I am trying to add my allisongrayce.com folder to Sublime 2. I think this is where I went down the wrong path. Also, what does he mean by demo content. I have taken the quiz. What questions in particular?

9,145 PointsThank you for this. These quizzes are usually great, but this one was baffling. Most of the stuff in the quiz was not covered at all in the videos, or if it was, it was covered very, very briefly.
