Hi,
If I were to pursue this line of logic, how would I allow the break to have 
two conditions to opperate on? For example, in my first nested loop, I 
wished to test for the equality of user_answer and correct_answer as well 
as - this was not included due to my ignorance - a comparison to only 
continue the loop - regardless whether the two previous were correct - but 
only whilst looper != 3.
Cheers,
Hayden
