Hi Lars,

You can use <formularesponse> to do this right now.

<problem>
  <part>
    <startouttext />Answer is 0.16666666667 try 1/6<endouttext />
    <formularesponse samples="x@1" answer="0.16666666667">
       <responseparam description="Numerical Tolerance"
                      default="0.000001" type="tolerance" name="tol" />
       <textline />
    </formularesponse>
  </part>
  <part>
    <startouttext />Answer is 1/6 try 0.166666666<endouttext />
    <formularesponse samples="x@1" answer="1/6">
       <responseparam description="Numerical Tolerance"
                      default="0.000001" type="tolerance" name="tol" />
       <textline />
    </formularesponse>
  </part>
</problem>

Addittionally people have used multiple <numericalresponse> fields for
entering fractions to enforce that the student enters a reduced
fraction.

    A good scapegoat is nearly as welcome as a solution to the problem.
