Also, is this how i would wire everything up(See Diagram Below)? dont mind my MS paint it was the quickest thing i could use.

Yes, that's how you would wire it, except you need 5 wires and 5 diodes for 5 questions.

Here is my shopping list.

Looks okay but you are ordering from several different places, which adds shipping costs. See if you can order everything from one place, like Mouser or Sparkfun.

You are ordering 300 diodes when you only need 5 (order 10 or so).

The LEDs need a resistor in series with them to limit the current or they will blow, so you need to buy a few 200Ω resistors, 1/4 or 1/2 watt.

Ya i know im ordering from alot of different places but i got everything that i could from amazon with prime where it will be here in 2 days with free shipping. Ill narrow the list down later this was just a rough list to give to the owner for the time being.
Haha I didn't notice that there were 300 there...
So does nothing need to wire up to the normally open on the relay? Its just kinda confusing me as to how this works but i guess i dont have to under stand it i just need everything to work so if you say it works ill trust you. Thanks so much for the help and if i have any more questions ill defiantly be back.

 

The owner of the museum wants one green and one red light.
I've got my shopping list made up but i need to know what type of resistor I need. im going to use these https://goo.gl/1hvW69

Being from the USA I generally prefer ordering parts from a USA supplier.

 

Its just kinda confusing me as to how this works

It's quite simple.
If the Ans and Select probes go to the same horizontal wire (correct answer) the Green LED is illuminated and the relay is energized from the battery.
This opens the normally-closed contact on the relay, preventing the Red LED from also illuminating.
This current flow is shown by the red lines on the left schematic.

If the Select probe (green wire) is connected to a different wire then Ans (incorrect answer), than the relay and Green LED are not energized, and the Red LED is illuminated through the diode of the wire the Ans probe is connected to.
This current flow is shown by the red lines on the right schematic.

 

Alright that makes alot more sense now. i just want able to wrap my head around it . Whats with the earth ground at the bottom? Also i was having trouble finding those resistors. i was able to find some 330Ω 1/6th watt resistors and some 1kΩ 1/4th watt resistors.

 

Whats with the earth ground at the bottom?

Wrong symbol.
That's just circuit common.

Also i was having trouble finding those resistors.

Most electronic suppliers sell all kinds of resistors.
Where did you look?

 

Where did you look?

I was looking on spark fun because i was already planning on ordering stuff from there.

Yes, they have a meager assortment of resistors.

You could buy this resistor pack.
If that's more than you want to spend, use the 330Ω values.
The LEDs will likely still be bright enough for your purposes.
You could also use five 1kΩ in parallel to get 200Ω.

So either use 1 330Ω 1/6th watt resistor or 5 1kΩ 1/4 th watt in parallel? Which would be better?

The five 1k's will give a brighter LED output than the 330Ω.
Your choice.

Alright I'll just buy a pack of 1kΩ. I'll let you know if I need any more help.

Okay.
You can always add or subtract the number of 1kΩ resistors in parallel to adjust the brightness.

I ended up finding these resistors for really cheap. Will these be ok? http://www.jameco.com/z/CF1-4W201JR...X_lNc1xJABmWuSfXSWJLatTncqE9sRphoCzEkQAvD_BwE

Sure, but you have to pay shipping also.

Ya i know. im going to be reimbursed for the cost of it.

And everything from Tayda Electronics would have arrived by now.

Then why not just buy this resistor pack. from Sparkfun if you are buying everything else there.
It wouldn't cost any more than buying a few from Jameco and you'll have any value you need.

And everything from Tayda Electronics would have arrived by now.

Are you a shill for Tayda?

That was just a brief shopping list like i said. Ill go through and narrow thing down.

 

Are you a shill for Tayda?

It is normally quite difficult to prove one is NOT a shill but in this case, it is clear I am only a satisfied customer - their prices are too low for them to afford shills.

Don't fear the unknown.
