[LON-CAPA-users] randomize order of parts

[Robley Light]

Gee, Guy, looks like you answered my second question before you even read
it.

I presume, from what you say below, you could do 

<problem>
  <part id="A">
     <randomlist show="1">
       <stringresponse id="1"></stringresponse>
       <stringresponse id="2"></stringresponse>
       <stringresponse id="3"></stringresponse>
<stringresponse id="3"></stringresponse>
<stringresponse id="3"></stringresponse>
<stringresponse id="3"></stringresponse>
<stringresponse id="3"></stringresponse>
<stringresponse id="3"></stringresponse>
<stringresponse id="3"></stringresponse>
<stringresponse id="3"></stringresponse>
     </randomlist>
  </part>
</problem>
