[LON-CAPA-users] default number tries

[Lars Jensen]

Thanks for the info. 

...And how do you know of all these attributes to the various problem
types? Is it insider information, or do you have a source of
documentation. (I'm aware of the homework5 page, but it seems to be
far from complete.) Being in the process of coding a number of 
problems, I'm very interested in any further documention on this.

Lars.
