Check my code out and comment please. This was how I worked it out, totally different and maybe more difficult approach

var questions = [ ['How many states are in the United States?', 50],
                  ['How many continents are there?', 7],
                  ['How many legs does an insect have?', 6]
                ];
var right = 0;
var correct = '<ol>';
var wrong = '<ol>';

function print(message) {
  document.write( message );
}

for( i = 0; i < questions.length; i += 1 ) {
  answers = prompt(questions[i][0]);
  if ( parseInt(answers) === questions[i][1] ) {
    right += 1;
    correct += '<li>' + questions[i][0] + '</li>';  
  } if ( parseInt(answers) !== questions[i][1] )
  {
    wrong += '<li>' + questions[i][0] + '</li>';
  }
}

if ( right === 0 || right === 2 ) {
  print('You got ' + right + ' question(s) right.');
} else {
  print('You got ' + right + ' question right.');
}


print('<h2>' + 'You got these questions correct:' + '</h2>');
print(correct);

print('<h2>' + 'You got these questions wrong:' + '</h2>');
print(wrong);

Updated the formatting for you. Refer to the Markdown Cheatsheet for examples.

Thank you!

Pretty intuitive approach I can say. Good job.

Well thank you...I could have done better with the naming as he did with the 'question', 'answer', 'response' approach

Did you really need the second "if" for checking the un-correctness of the answers? Or was it enough to put an "else" instead?

if ( parseInt(answers) === questions[i][1] ) {
right += 1;
    correct += '<li>' + questions[i][0] + '</li>';  
  } else {
    wrong += '<li>' + questions[i][0] + '</li>';
  }
}

Nope, I see that it was not necessary, thanks Michal
