I've developed a nice but simple cgi script [1] which produces multiplication questions for children in my class. It randomly presents a list of questions and then checks the answers once they push submit. The form builds up a fairly long list of vars which are passed to a method which checks the question against the answer.
However, I knew a post to Tutor would be needed sooner or later. After 5 months of using this script one of the children has discovered that by pressing the refresh button they get the results checked and the points awarded without any work. This is a combination of my bad design and their ingenuity (bless 'em). I would like to ammend the script so that the simple refresh does not award more points. My first initial reaction is to create a cookie which somehow checks whether the string is valid. Can anyone provide some guidance on how to go about fixing this?
