Hi Kayla,
Have you read the other posts on the list? bhaaluu sent you a great 
little tutorial showing how a pro would go about solving this problem. 
Read it carefully, it's really worth all the time you will spend on it. 
Your problem seems to be that you expect the random module to return a 
100 answers, it won't. Random returns only one choice for everytime you 
run it. That's why we use a loop, to run random a 100 times.
Don't despair, in the beginning everybody trips on silly details like 
that, keep at it and soon you'll be the expert.

Kent,

can I read it? ignorance not being an excuse.
