Matching variable to a list index

Is the output supposed to be the "right answer"? I don't see where you store that. You use a function to ask for the right answer, but that function doesn't seem to store it anywhere.

There is also a lot of stuff in that function that is only inside the exception block. That may be incorrect, but doesn't change that nothing is storing the data. Also, on error you are calling the same function, Recursion here is a poor idea. You should be looping instead of making another call.

Thanks for your reply,
That's the technique my professor tought me.
I'm trying to make it as dynamic as possible by letting the user decide how many answer's a question will have.
the "right" answer can, in fact, be anything. for me it's the answer's number that count.
Could you show me an example of looping that? or maybe a more efficient way to do it?

Thanks again!
