And modifying your modifications makes it work even a little better: ####################################### #!/usr/bin/python import random import time import threading class Timer(threading.Thread): def __init__(self, seconds): self.runTime = seconds threading.Thread.__init__(self) def run(self): global running time.sleep(self.runTime) print " " print "Buzzz!!! Time's up!" running = False t = Timer(30) t.start() startNum = random.choice(range(1, 9)) newNum = startNum + 7 score = 0 running = True print 'Start with the number ', startNum, '. Then continuously add 7 to that number until the timer runs out. You have 30 seconds.' while running: if running == True: answer = int(raw_input('Enter your answer: ')) if answer == newNum: print 'That is correct! Keep going.' score = score + 5 newNum = newNum + 7 print 'Your score is ', score else: print 'That is incorrect. Please try again.' else: answer = 0 print ' ' print 'Your total score was: ', score ####################################### Happy Programming! -- b h a a l u u at g m a i l dot c o m > #!/usr/bin/python > # Filename : math_test.py > > import time > import threading > class Timer(threading.Thread): > def __init__(self, seconds): > self.runTime = seconds > threading.Thread.__init__(self) > def run(self): > global running > time.sleep(self.runTime) > print " " > print "Buzzz!!!
