</div>

Try:

```auto
function validate(n) {
	for (var i = 1; i<=5; i++) {
		if (this["Scene12input"+i] == answers[n][0]) {
			for (var i = 1; i<=5; i++) {
				if (this["Scene12input"+i] == answers[n][1]) {
					for (var i = 1; i<=5; i++) {
						if (this["Scene12input"+i] == answers[n][2] || answers[n][2] == undefined) {
							return true;
						}
					}
				}
			}
		}
	}
}

```

OMG, that was a bad bad code 😛

LOL, i never even specify the answers that are correct???

answers = [["+Tcos45", “-Rcos60”, “+Ltan30”], [“apple”, “orange”, “citron”]];  
function validate(n) {  
for (var i = 1; i\<=5; i++) {  
if (this[“Scene12input”+i] == answers[n][0]) {  
for (var i = 1; i\<=5; i++) {  
if (this[“Scene12input”+i] == answers[n][1]) {  
for (var i = 1; i\<=5; i++) {  
if (this[“Scene12input”+i] == answers[n][2] || answers[n][2] == undefined) {  
return true;  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}

</div>

Place the following code on a frame:

```auto
answers = [["+Tcos45", "-Rcos60"], ["apple", "orange"],["car","bus","plane"]];//add the other pairs here
function validate(n) {
        for (var i = 1; i<=5; i++) {
                if (this["Scene12input"+i] == answers[n][0]) {
                        for (var i = 1; i<=5; i++) {
                                if (this["Scene12input"+i] == answers[n][1]) {
                                        for (var i = 1; i<=5; i++) {
                                                if (this["Scene12input"+i] == answers[n][2] || answers[n][2] == undefined) {
                                                        return true;
                                                }
                                        }
                                }
                        }
                }
        }
}

```

And this one on the button:

```auto
on (release) {
	for (var i = 0; i<answers.length; i++) {
		if (validate(i)) {
			trace("success");
			gotoAndStop("Scene 12", 2);
			break;
		}
	}
}

```
