Talk:Matching question type

Question set-up

The instructions say "You must provide at least two questions and three answers". I notice that in Moodle 1.9 and Moodle 2.0 that when you create a question with just two possible answers, with a third answer that is the same as one of the other two then this Matching question type works okay. For example the answers may be -> true -> false and -> false. Only two choices are displayed i.e. "true/false" not "true/false/false".

I wonder if this is intended behaviour and if we can rely on this continuing? It is potentially very useful for this type of combination of true or false within a matching question type.

If this behaviour continues instructions might change to: "You must provide at least two questions and three answers. If an answer is repeated exactly it will only be listed once"

Been playing in demo.Moodle.org. Ah....I think we need some examples for the newbie like me.

Once I answered a matching question of my design as a student, dawn started to break over Marblehead, and I deleted my previous comments --Chris collman 11:25, 19 September 2007 (CDT)
