(TURING) Urgent, need help on multiple choices..

-----------------------------------

Hey!! Sup people? ..
 
I need help badly.. and i'm so confused with the code i have. 

(its a multiple choice question, and i'll show you the problem with it on the buttom)



var answer:string
var counter:int:=0

        put "How many months are there in a year? " 
        put " "
        put "a) 13        "
        put "b) 11        " 
        put "c) 12        " 
        put " "
for i:1..2
        put "Please enter your answer. (type a, b or c)" 
        put " "
get answer
if answer = "c" or answer = "C" then 
put " ---> Correct! Next Question." 
counter:=counter+1
exit 
else 
put "Sorry, guess again" 
end if 
end for

%this is it!


The problem is, when the code is outputted. And the user can only guess twice, but on the 2nd wrong guess, it sas "Sorry, guess again" --> (the output)

How many months are there in a year? 

a) 13        
b) 11        
c) 12        

Please enter your answer. (type a, b or c)

a
Sorry, guess again
Please enter your answer. (type a, b or c)

b
Sorry, guess again

-------------------

the PROBLEM is --> it says "sorry guess again" twice!
i want it to say something like "Sorry, no more guesses --> next question!" 

Can someone please help me, thanks -
