Javascript Quiz not working.. not errors

I am trying to create my own quiz in JS that asks me a series of questions from an 2d array, records the correct answers and then displays the write and wrong ones on the webpage.

The below asks for information that is both in numbers and in scripts. I can get through the "asking stage" but I cannot get the right/wrong answers to print out in HTML. I am getting no errors currently in the console log.

Anyone got any ideas?

var questions = [
  ['Who was the first president of the United States', 'George Washington'],
  ['Who is the last historical Samurai to Japan?', 'Saigo Takamori'],
  ['How many legs does an insect have?', 6],
  ['How many megabites are in a gigabite', 1024],
  ['Name the largest star that is at the center of our galaxy', 'the Sun']

];


var correctAnswers = 0;
var question;
var answer;
var response;

var correct = [];
var wrong = [];


function print(message) {
  document.write(message);
  outputDiv.innerHTML = message;
}



function buildList(arr){
  var listHTML = '<ol>';

      for (var i = 0; i < arr.length; i +=1) {

          listHTML += '<li>' + arr[i] + '</li>';

      }  

  listHTML += '</ol>';

  return listHTML;

}




for (var i = 0; i < questions.length; i += 1) {

    question = questions[i][0];
    answer = questions[i][1];
    response = prompt(question);
    response = parseInt(response);

     if (response === answer) {
        correctAnswers += 1;
        correct.push(question); 
      }else{
        wrong.push(question);
      }

}




html = "You got " + correctAnswers + " question(s) right."
html += '<h2> You got these questions correct:</h2>';
html += buildList(correct);
html += '<h2>You got theses questions wrong:</h2>';
html += buildList(wrong);

from what I can see you are really close! it looks like you only need to call the print function at the bottom! good luck
