It seems to me that you need a button to generate random numbers somewhere
at the top of your testing process. The button would populate whatever
random cells you want at the start. Then the rest of your test questions
would draw from from those cells. That way the random process only occurs
once and nothing changes as tiddlers are refreshed.
As a side thought, if you had a start and stop button, then you could also
save timestamps and see how long it too to complete the test.
