This is a mistake on my part, maybe i should have picked a game I'd
played recently. :(

I hereby make the following modification to the quiz:

The player is given a maximum number of incorrect guesses, not a total
number of guesses.

I would also like to add the following clarification:

Any empty guesses are ignored.
