just learning about loops, can't get this one to work

Stevepenguin (1)
I was out sick last week when they covered loops, and we were tasked to edit last weeks assignment to include one. I went through the lecture code he posted and tried to include one but I can't get it to work. it's a quiz, and I'm keeping track of correct answers. the code is supposed to loop back to question 1 if they do not get all 5 correct. any help?

Just looking over it, it all looks fine to me. Ran it with the option on this site and works as expected. What's happening with your end when you try to run it?
