Hi Robley,
I would add a script block:
$index=&random(1,100,1);
@question=&random_permutation
($index,'first','second','third','fourth','fifth','sixth');
@answer=&random_permutation($index,'George Washington','John
Adams','Thomas Jefferson','James Madison','John Adams');
Then have two or however many questions you want:
Who was the $question[0] US president?
Answer: $answer[0]
And who was the $question[1] US president?
Answer: $answer[1]
- Gerd.
