Following test_quiz.md, create your own quiz markdown file, like quiz1.md.

The structure of this md file should be like this:

---
(Some quiz configs)

# Your Title

(Your description)

---

(Block 1)

---

(Block 2)

---

...

---

Quiz config should be formatted as YAML, and the options are available at this page. You don't have to set title and description parameter in this config.

---

Each block is a question, and it should be like this:

---

```yaml
question_type: multiple_choice_question
points_possible: 1
answers:
    -
        answer_text: "Option 1"
        answer_weight: 100
    -
        answer_text: "Option 2"
        answer_weight: 0
```

Question description goes here.

```cpp
#include <stdio.h>

int main(){
    printf("Hello World!");
}
```
---

Quiz question config should be formatted as YAML, and the options are available at this page. You don't have to set the text parameter in this config.
