Hi,  
This is my pen [https://codepen.io/sakata\_gintoki/pen/bzPwyB](https://codepen.io/sakata_gintoki/pen/bzPwyB)  
I don’t know why but the API returns the same quote even after clicking the button many times.  
If i open a new tab and go to the same API url many times it gives me different quote each time.  
This is causing test#9 to fail.  
Please help.
