[alicebot-style] Multiple choice quiz in AIML

[John Campbell]

My technique is to use topic and a _ to catch everything.

As a multi choice test, it's not quite right, as you only proceed to the next question if the 
get the current one right!

I have tested it with Sylvie ( http://www.jesus.org.uk/bot ) on Pandorabots and it works.

Here you go:
