consider removing question marks from title of Exercise 0 / clone fails on Windows #17

I tried cloning this repo to my Windows desktop. This resulted in this error message:

error: unable to create file classroom-code/exercises/Exercise 0 -- Where are we? What
are we doing?.ipynb (Invalid argument)

It looks like there is a reserved character ('?') in that filename, which is why the clone is failing. The question mark is a reserved character in Windows.

The specific file in question is "python-minecraft / classroom-code / exercises / Exercise 0 -- Where are we? What are we doing?.ipynb".

I do not know how many references would break if the filename is changed. That said, if it would be possible to change the name of the file, it would permit Windows-based users to clone the repo.

Thanks.
