Matching variable to a list index

I see, you have at least two problems with the shown code.

1) your exception check in get_right_answer() should only be a couple lines long, but the rest of the function (lines 63-80) is in that block, so it can't get executed if the answer is input properly.
2) Once you fix that, line 69 is question_right_answer[right_answer] = answer. You're assigning "answer", not "right_answer". That seems wrong to me.
3) your printout from line 103 is print(f"{i+1}\t {question_list[i]}\t\t {answer}\t\t {scores[i]}"). Note all the columns depend on i except for the third. That one is just the bare answer, so it will be the same for every line.


An example of looping until you get a valid response:

valid = "no"
while not valid.startswith(("y", "Y")):
    right_answer = int(input("Right Answer: "))
    if 0 < right_answer <= answers[0]:
        valid = input("Are you sure? [Y/n]")
        valid = valid or "Y"
    else:
        print(f"Please select 1-{answers}")

# We don't pass this point until user affirms answer is okay.  This
# separates the input code from the other tasks.
#  print the right answer to the screen for the user to see
#  store the right answer for later use..
