Quizzing Conundrum
Oct 15, 2015
Hi Heroes, I have a designer who enjoys watching my blood pressure rise. I must admit that I DO love a challenge, and I'm the guy who always says: "If you can dream it, I can build it!" so I guess I have to take my lumps for being "that guy."
Here's the problem, I have a quiz question that is a fill-in-the-blank with three blanks and six acceptable answers. Yes, the question is: Name three US states that have this exception:" and the acceptable answers are: FL, GA, LA, TN, WA, NY
So, I already know how to do a multiple blank fill question, but I don't know how to set the conditions to analyze their answer and determine if they indeed put three different acceptable answers in the three blanks. Head scratcher, right?!!?!
I've added a screen shot to help you understand, and maybe you can help me find a way for me to make the magic happen. Thanks in advance!!! ACE

Hey Alan. I had to solve this on a previous project. Here's a down and dirty example of one way to do it. Remember to include the "ignore case" when you create your triggers. This solution does not allow for duplicate entries.
I would add a trigger after Micheal's to set variable 2 to false if it is equal to 1 or 3, and another to set 3 to false if it is equal to 1
Otherwise, I think his logic will work for you.
Hi Alan! Looks like you are getting some great assistance here :)
Wow! You guys are TRUE HEROES! Michael and Walt, I was able to implement both of your suggestions to make it work and it works like a charm!!! Thanks so much for saving me, I had a tight deadline and made it thanks to you both.
Great news Alan! Thanks for popping in with an update.
