[Lon-capa-users] numericalhint

[Ray Batchelor]

Hi Guy,
Sorry, I tried it your way and it works the same as before.
That is, the conditional hint text only appears if the response 
submitted was exactly $TKwrongans to 15 sig figs.   (It did not matter 
whether I specified the default tolerance on the numerical hint as a 
variable or as 10%.)  
If the response was less than 15 sig figs, then only the general hint 
text appeared. 

Cheers,
Ray
