- Question time is a game in which you must get as many questions correct as
- possible.
- Every question you get correct wins you one star or two stars if it was a
- BONUS question.If you get thirty stars you go on to round two.
- Every question you get wrong you will see an arrow advance one,and a bar
- appear on the right,when three bars appear the bars are wiped off with the
- next question you get wrong and the arrow advances two,this is repeated until
- the arrow reaches the top by which time the game ends.
- At different stages in the game you will see the word bonus in upper case
- letters above the timer,if you manage to get the question correct when this
- word appears you gain two stars and the bars are wiped off.
- When you get thirty stars correct you will be given a code,this is to
- allow you to return to the second round without answering the questions in
- the first round,but if you do this you would not gain a very high score as
- you would if you started from the begining.
- When playing this game i hope you gain more knowledge and enjoy yourself
- at the same time.
- There are 320 questions 160 in the first round and 160 in the second round.
- Questions in the first round are general,some of the questions in the
- second round are similar to this,EG--What is neil Kinnocks favourite game?,
- the answer is in the second round.Use keys 1 2 and 3 to answer the questions.
