4,622 Pointsquiz game not calling init method
when I import Quiz from quiz and try to call the questions (i.e. quiz1.questions) as Kenneth does at the end of the video, i get a blank list [], rather than a bunch of questions. I'm not sure why my init method is not appending the questions list. see code below.
Thanks!

import datetime import random
from questions import Add, Multiply
class Quiz:
questions = []

for _ in range(10):
num1 = random.randint(1, 10)
num2 = random.randint(1, 10)
question = random.choice(question_types)(num1, num2)
self.questions.append(question)

))
print("It took you {} seconds total.".format(
(self.end_time-self.start_time).seconds
))

11,936 PointsAre you instantiated Quiz? The __init__ method isn't called unless you are creating an instance of Quiz.

4,622 PointsYes I was.. perhaps it is a bug with workspaces? Thanks though!
