The instructor introduces a Python exercise to build a version of Who Will Become a Millionaire, the quiz show also known as KBC.
The program must display questions to the user, take their answers, and calculate how much money they win, using the list data type to store questions and correct answers.
At the end, the program should display the final amount the player takes home after the game.
Students get full creative freedom: they may store answer indexes, use a list of lists, loop through questions one by one or pick them randomly, with no hard and fast rules.
The instructor urges viewers to try it because playing a game you built yourself is fun, and points them to the playlist.

What does the Who Will Become a Millionaire Python exercise require?
The program must display questions to the user like KBC, let the user answer them, and apply logic to calculate how much money they win or do not win. Questions and their correct answers should be stored using the list data type, and the final take-home amount must be displayed.
Which Python data type should store the questions and answers?
The instructor asks students to use the list data type to store the questions and their answers, along with the correct answers. How you manage the questions and correct answers is left up to you, for example as a list of lists or with answer indexes.
Are there fixed rules for how to structure the quiz program?
No. The instructor gives full creative freedom: write the index of the correct answers, make a list of lists, run a loop through all the questions one by one, or randomly remove questions from the list. He says he is fine with anything and imposes no hard and fast rule.
What should the program show when the game ends?
The program should display the final amount the person is taking home after playing the game. This means the logic must track the money the player earns as they answer questions correctly and calculate how much they have won by the end, as in the KBC show.
