'The Mysterious Cities of Gold'- Part 1 Quiz

This quiz is on 'The Mysterious Cities of Gold,' which I, and many others, believe to be one of the greatest animated series ever made. It consisted of 39 episodes, this quiz covering episodes 1-10. A pretty decent knowledge of the series is recommended.
