Hi Charles,

First of all, thank you very much for this great series of blogs. I am following this blog, but a few things came up:

1. GPIO.setup(26, GPIO.OUT) statement failed if I don't start Python with root privilege. I have to start Python interpreter using sudo python

2. If I started python in privilege, root=Tk() statement would fail. Therefore, I cannot successfully run the whole TrickorTriviaQuiz.py with or without privileged Python interpreter.

3. The command run quiz program should not be sudo nano TrickorTrivia.py, instead, it should be python TrickorTriviaQuiz.py

I have to mention that I am doing things a little bit different. Since I don't have keyboard to connect Pi directly, so I am using VNC remote desktop. Could this be the reason giving me troubles?

Very interesting Blog.

I like the 7 inch display and your UI for the trivia questions.

Nice simple and clean design.
