If you are wrong, you will get a wrong answer sound and you must try another button. If you are correct, a correct tone will be heard and you continue to guess the second button in the sequence. If you are wrong and get a wrong-answer sound, you must re-enter the correct first button and guess the second button in the sequence again.
