It's hard to discern anything from the code snippet you've provided. Could you point us to the actual problem that's causing you grief? I'd like to import it into a dummy course and then test it to see what might be happening. While you're at it, could you make sure the source is available?

The text of the message is: Illegal division by zero at (eval 53074) line 5. occurred while running $t2=&random(1,3); $sub2=&choose($t2,"carbon","hydrogen","oxygen"); $f2=&choose($t2,20.0,24.0,2.0); $ansb=($ansa/$f1)* $f2 * 6.0221e23; The "Script Vars" in the message shows "$f1=6.0221e+23". The actual code defines $f1 as "6.0221e23" via a &choose function. This has happened for 3 students on 3 different access servers. Does anyone have any ideas about what's going on or what I'm doing wrong here?
