Good points and a good summary! A couple of thoughts: - Another strategy to foil cheating: randomization within a question (mostly ready on fitb, someone else is working on mchoice...

I'd be happy to think more about `selectquestion`. Some (perhap uninformed) thoughts about it without having used the directive: Pros: - It's already done! - It's a quick edit to...
