Resetting base layer when returning to slide

Situation:

I'm trying to make a multiple choice quiz question.

Each of 5 options have both a picture and a radio. Students can select either.

Then they must hit select. This triggers 2 variables.

1) "NumberofSubmissions" counts how many times they submitted an answer. This is a universal variable so I can tell in a rough way if they selected basically once or twice throughout the course or a bunch of times. It is not intended to give a number for each question.

AND 2) Adds the score (different scores for different selections - some positive,some negative to a variable Score.

 

If they answer RIGHT, a layer saying you are right shows, with a link to more info. When they click continue, it returns to the base level.

If they answer wrong, the same WRONG layer shows no matter which wrong answer they make. When they click return, they are returned to the base layer, but the score and the NumberofSubmissions has changed.

THE PROBLEM

When the student selects a picture or a radio button the state changes, but until they click submit, the answer is not assessed. That's fine with me.

HOWEVER, when they return to the base layer, whatever was selected is still in the selected state. 

WHAT I WANT

I know I can make a bunch of triggers and reset each option to Normal. HOWEVER, what I'd like is to have a universal command that says if you click the return on the "WRONG" layer, you go back to the base layer, but the states of all the objects are NORMAL. HOWEVER, it doesn't change the 2 variables - score and #ofsubmissions (so I can't just say restart the slide or the show. I'm thinking of setting a cue point, but don't know if that will reset states and NOT reset variables. 

 

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Steve
