If copying & pasting these lists into your own coding projects you may need to reformat them (either tabs for each list item OR putting the list items on a single long line)
The lists have been checked for accuracy, but it's also worthwhile doing this yourself
You may add / delete / modify these lists with your own feedback questions / answers
You will need to add at least one extra variable (e.g. questionNumber, questionAndAnswerNumber or similar) if you are randomising questions in a loop; see the Other Useful Code page under (Python Basics) for examples
You could store different difficulty levels of question in one long list (e.g. index 0-9 for easy difficulty, 10-19 for medium, and 20-29 for hard)
Numerical responses in these examples are variously stored as strings (e.g. "9") or integers (e.g. 9) or even boolean values (e.g. True but not "True"; be sure to appropriately parse their input
Responses to list based questions / answers need to be written precisely; consider this when designing your game
