BIRTHDAY CAKE:
--------------



     There are twenty pieces of birthday cake with candles
labelled A to T.  Inside fifteen of the pieces of cake are hidden bills 
and coins.  Players can choose between American and Canadian currency.
The locations of the coins are shown briefly at the beginning of the
game.

     To choose a piece of cake, the player must first answer a trivia
question about birthdays or anniversaries.  If a question is answered
correctly, then the player may select one of the pieces of cake by
either pointing to it with the mouse pointer or typing the letter on
the candle on the cake.

     If an incorrect choice is made, the player is shown the
correct answer and then the choices are displayed again.  the correct 
answer must be chosen before the player can continue with the game.  
The question may reappear later in the game.

     Questions are presented in a random order.  This means that each
time the game is played the questions will not appear in the same order.
 
     The program allows for the loading of alternative question sets.
Using a word processor, such as Notepad, the questions can be edited
and customized question files can be built.

     Included is an age calculator.  By entering your birthday, the
program will calculate your age.  Ages are given in years, months, days.

     The fifteen highest scores are saved.
