Been playing in demo.Moodle.org.  Ah....I think we need some examples for the newbie like me.
I do not understand the must use 3 questions and answers instruction. Are we trying to say: "Each question must have 3 answers" ?

"You can provide extra wrong answers by giving an answer with a blank question"
Can you give a brief example?  


I am being thick headed and lazy. I am more familiar with a Lesson question than a Quiz or Question bank question format.  Thanks for everyone's efforts in the new Question bank related pages in MoodleDocs--[[User:chris collman|chris collman]] 07:34, 14 September 2007 (CDT)

"There is one correct answer. Each match is equally weighted to contribute towards the grade for the total question."   
 
From what I see in demo.Moodle.org, the matches are all correct or the question is considered not answered correctly. --[[User:chris collman|chris collman]] 10:51, 19 September 2007 (CDT)
For Moodle 1.9 (haven't tested in 2.1 yet): This page states that the instructor can choose whether or not answers in drop-down menus should be shuffled or not. Slightly later in the page it is definitively stated that answers will always be shuffled. Which is correct?
 
I believe the latter is true, since the "Shuffle" checkbox's inline help says "If you set this option to "Yes", then the order of the subquestions is randomly shuffled each time a student starts an attempt at a quiz containing this question - provided that "Shuffle within questions" in the Quiz settings is set to "Yes"."  This has also been my experience - the 'Shuffle' checkbox shuffles the subquestions, but exerts no influence over the answer list, which is always randomly shuffled.

For Moodle 1.9 (haven't tested in 2.1 yet): This page states that the instructor can choose whether or not answers in drop-down menus should be shuffled or not. Slightly later in the page it is definitively stated that answers will always be shuffled. Which is correct?

I believe the latter is true, since the "Shuffle" checkbox's inline help says "If you set this option to "Yes", then the order of the subquestions is randomly shuffled each time a student starts an attempt at a quiz containing this question - provided that "Shuffle within questions" in the Quiz settings is set to "Yes"." This has also been my experience - the 'Shuffle' checkbox shuffles the subquestions, but exerts no influence over the answer list, which is always randomly shuffled.
