Also....
Instead of asking the question 8 times, how about using a couple of dictionaries for the questions and answers with the answers include the coordinates like this:-
QUE = {1: "4481 *2",
2: "457 * 21",
3: "2345*23",
4: "Who plays against the USA in golf's Walker Cup?",
5: "Which game is played in autumn using the fruit of the horse chestnut tree?",
6: "From what country does Lego come?",
7: "What term is used in cricket for the two men on the field who decide on whether batsmen are out, and signal for extras and boundaries?",
8: "What date was D-Day?",
9: "Who is called the 'Great One' in hockey history?", }
ANS = {1: "8962;75;75",
2: "9597;75;75",
3: "53935;75;75",
4: "britain;75;75",
5: "conkers;75;75",
6: "denmark;75;75",
7: "umpire;75;75",
8: "06,06,1944;76;75",
9: "wayne gretzky;25;75", }
and then just test the question/answer with:
queSel = random.randrange(1, 10)
print("\n"*6)
print(QUE[queSel])
playerAnswer = input("What do you think the answer is?")
if playerAnswer == ANS[queSel].split(';')[0]:
print("Correct!")
USERX += ANS[queSel].split(';')[1]
else:
print("UH-OH!")
DRAGONX += ANS[queSel].split(';')[2]
print("\n"*5)
I'm sure there's better ways. This is just what came to mind.

Michael
