● Allow the user/player to interact with the game and play it over again
without restarting the program.
● Use the ‘Random’ module and the ‘Time’ module.
● Allow only 3 questions to be asked before the program ends.

● Working .py file uploaded


Genre & Mode
● Word doc containing coding text uploaded to turn-it-in for plagiarism report.
