Console returning 200, but question field not changing.

Hello! I am encountering a problem where, a lot of the time, the console when doing python server.py returns a 200 for an article, but it doesn't change the question field. What makes this even stranger is that it changes the title field!

Fails to remove answers from the prompt if they contain a mixture of floats and strings

If the answer to a prompt contains a mixture of floats and strings (e.g. "4.3 million residents" or "0.8 km2" or "0.01 nm depth resolution"), then that answer will be visible in the prompt.

This does not occur for answers which are pure floats (e.g. "725.3") or pure strings (e.g. "three").

Live Example

This sounds like an amazing project ! Why don't you deploy this to Heroku or somewhere else to display a live demo of the quiz?

Shows multiple identical answers

Any article I try gives duplicate answers, sometimes three and usually two.

Even the demo article that you show in the readme, motorcycles, doesn't work at all. It asks obvious questions or proposes duplicate answers. At least all duplicates are counted as correct.

Raises 500 error for some but not all articles

There are articles where it raises a 500 error in case it's unable to generate any questions.

For example, for "beer" (I added some lines to print the relevant exception traceback):

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "python/server.py", line 17, in get_quiz
    for question in a.quiz.get_ten_random():
  File "/Users/svisser/projects/WikiQuiz/python/Quiz.py", line 19, in get_ten_random
    selected.append(random.choice(self.questions))
  File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/random.py", line 275, in choice
    return seq[int(self.random() * len(seq))]  # raises IndexError if seq is empty
IndexError: list index out of range

This is different from #1 as I'm able to run the project successfully for other articles (like "baseball").

Encoding error?

I commented out lines 14, 27, 28 to see why it wouldn't work and I get this error.

File "WikiQuiz-master/python/server.py", line 15, in get_quiz a = Article(article_name) File "WikiQuiz-master/python/Article.py", line 19, in __init__ self.page.summary.encode('ascii', 'ignore')) File "WikiQuiz-master/python/Article.py", line 54, in generate_questions_for sec.replace(")", "("))[0::2]) TypeError: a bytes-like object is required, not 'str'

I printed 'sec' and I do get text from the Wiki article but it fails on the first call to generate_questions_for()
