 ALGORITHM/PSEUDOCODE

1. Initialize the variables:

- riddles: 2-dimensional array containing riddles and their answers
- random: Random object for generating random numbers
- score: Integer variable to track the player's score
- riddlesAnswered: Integer variable to count the number of riddles answered
- continuePlaying: Boolean variable to control the game loop
- askedRiddles: List to keep track of the riddles already asked
2. Display the welcome message and instructions to the player.
3. Enter the game loop:
- Check if the game should continue (continuePlaying is True) and the number of
riddles answered is less than 20.
- Generate a random index (randomIndex) for selecting a riddle from the riddles
array. Ensure the selected riddle has not been asked before by checking
askedRiddles.
- Add the randomIndex to askedRiddles and increment riddlesAnswered.
4. Retrieve the riddle and answer using the randomIndex.
5. Display the riddle number and the riddle to the player.
6. Prompt the player for their answer.
7. Check the user's answer:
- If the user enters "surrender", display a message indicating surrender and set
continuePlaying to False.
- If the user's answer matches the correct answer (case-insensitive), display
"Correct!" and increment the score.
 - If the user's answer doesn't match exactly, but matches when ignoring the
case, display "Correct!" and increment the score.
- If none of the above conditions are met, display "Wrong!" along with the
correct answer.
8. Print a blank line for spacing.
9. End of the game loop.
10. Display the player's score.
11. Display a message to exit the game.
12. Wait for the player to press any key to exit.
