No, we do not have that functionality. It’s actually quite complicated, since 
in most situations, we allow multiple tries to get the correct answer. If a 
student calculates the correct answer to an ill-coded problem and wrongly gets 
“incorrect”, he or she will likely keep on working and submit another answer. 
In order to begin addressing this issue, we would have to re-grade every answer 
the student submitted and stop if we find the first correct one.

In situations like this, I just apologize and give a point to everybody. Then 
move on.
