# QUESTIONS is a list of dictionaries, each dictionary represents a
# trick question and its answer. The dictionary has the keys 'question'
# (which holds the text of the question), 'answer' (which holds the text
# of the answer), and 'accept' (which holds a list of strings that, if
# the player's answer contains any of, they've answered correctly).
# (!) Try coming up with your own trick questions to add here:
