You really need to go back and fight your way through that book on C.
Try the
following snippet, (which i hope i cut 'n' pasted right this time).  If
you really
need a bunch of global Q values, you could use  int Q[6], and put the
line,

Q[i-1] = 1; 

in QuestValue. see your book for why its 'i-1', what '&' means, and just
what
'<<=' is doing.
 
void QuestValue(int value) {
		
	int mask = 1;
	int i;

	printf("value = %d\n", value);
	for (i=1; i<7; i++) {
		if (value & mask)
			printf("Quest %d completed\n", i);
		mask <<= 1;
	}
}
