                                     In test_quiz_error.txt on line 23: Syntax error; unexpected text, or incorrect indentation for a wrapped paragraph: #a) Polar heads face outward, nonpolar tails face inward  
                                     This would indicate that there is an error on line 23 of the quiz. You need to change #a) to \*a) to fix the error.
