What I learned

I started this excercise several months ago and somehow never could finish it, due to lack of time. Back then I also hadn't learned about positioning yet and had no idea how to accomplish the positioning of the images. At first I had used <button> to activate the Questions in the accordeon. In the meantime I did came across many articles discussing 'When to use the button-tag'. In order to keep it semantically correct. Too bad I didn't keep track of the solutions in GitHub yet.
