Question

This is the code that I have so far.. I have yet to add the medium and hard rounds.. but can anyone please add the lifelines part to this code? such that when the user enters 50:50, 2 of the 4 choices in the question currently being answered will be removed, leaving the user with only 2 choices to choose from, but this can only be done by the player thrice for the whole game then the player must be told that he has no more lifelines left.. I have no idea how to do this.. thanks so much! by the way I am from the Philippines that is why the currency of the game is in Philippine pesos
