[LON-CAPA-users] LON-CAPA changing numbers?

[Mark Lucas]

Has anybody seen this problem before where LON-CAPA changes the random 
numbers in the middle of an assignment?

Can someone clarify what items of information are used when creating a 
random number seed for a student?

Mark,

I include below an occurrence that has happened to me once before too.
LON-CAPA changing the numbers in a given problem from what they were
when they first printed the assignment out.

Dear Dr. Carmen,
	Thank you for finalizing everything with my exam.
	I thought you would like to know that when I did my CAPA homework today, I
found that the computer changed my numbers around from when I printed it
off earlier.  Now, I caught the problem after about five tries, so
everything is okay.  If this happened to anyone else, they might not have
cought on.  Just thought you would like to know.
