Answer 1

You explicitely take care that the things the user inputs are strings:

Score1 = str(input("what did the first person get in their test the first     time?"))

if you replace str() by int() or float() (depending on what you expect the input to be), your problem should go away, because you'd get a numeric type rather than a string.
