Question DB

The question database is a file containing a JSON array of questions with the following properties:

{
  "answer": "Pizza",
  "category": "FOOD",
  "question": "Crust, sauce, and toppings!",
  "value": "$400"
},

One example of such a question set can be found here.

If the answer is a number is must still be "as a string" in the json file. Eg :

{
  "answer": "60",
  "category": "CATEGORY",
  "question": "How many minutes in an hour ?",
  "value": "$400"
},

The file needs to be stored in <hubot_root>/res/questions.json
