[LON-CAPA-users] Random seed question

[lon-capa-users@mail.lon-capa.org]

John,

My understanding is that each version of the problem should have a 
different random seed. Each time a problem is inserted into the sequence, 
it has a unique "ID" in that sequence. This ID is used with other 
information to create the random seed.
