Why do unanswered questions have available answer headings?

I have asked questions which apparently no one can answer. It's visable when you look at the posting. 0 answers. Yet, when I go to the question, at the top of the page is "This question is not answered. "Helpful" answers available: 2 . "Solved" answers available: 1 ".
What is up with this? If the question has no answers, then why the "helpful" and "solved" answers available notice? Is this some kind of sick taunting or what?

What is up with this?

How see which questions have been answered?

I currently have a quiz with ten random questions from a single pool of twenty.
Currently I have a custom offline LMS running on a local server which displays the InteractionID of all ten of the questions that have been answered as well as the answers - it then goes on to display them graphically on one single page, this can then be printed.
Due to reliability issues and necessary access rights with the local server I'd like to build this function into Captivate.
I'd like to create a single page at the end of the quiz that shows the InteractionID (or some similar unique tracer) of the ten questions which have been answered by the candidate. Coupled with whether they were answered correctly or not. This could then be printed out or saved as necessary.
Does anyone know how I would go about doing this? I realise that the randomisation feature certainly complicates things a bit. Currently my script hooks on at the end of the quiz when the 'send results as email' button is pressed. The information must be carried through Captivate somehow, I just need a way to call it up on that final page. Could I go about it using some variety of advanced action or some such?
Many thanks.

Hmmmm. That's a pain. I've checked the internal system variables also and found nothing. It's a real pain.
Do you know of any way of exporting non-system internal variables outside the programme? Currently I am exporting internal system variables outside of the programme using a capture hook on the 'send email' button. This then proceeds to export the selected system variables to a back-end database server.
It is a pretty messy way of doing things as you can imagine, but from there I can chop, change and sort the data as I, or more importantly my customer, sees fit. I am having a problem in that using this method the user needs to enter their name and other details twice. Once at the start of the programme [again, customer's requirement] and once at the insert stage. If I can't get the whole project done in captivate then i'll have to keep using this method, but I need to come up with a way that will mean the user only has to enter their data once.
Any ideas?
Cheers.

Why do I know have to answer security questions

Why am I know being asked security questions to buy items. I made my account years ago and can't remember my 1 of the questions asked

Why do some questions have over 10,000 views but others don't?

I just want to know why.

Most of the time (most of the time), this happens because a particular topic is linked to from one or more other websites. This can happen if a technical issue is being discussed elsewhere and the answer (or the best place to complain) is here, but it can also happen when something funny happens here that is picked up elsewhere on the Web. (I remember an iPhone topic about a woman who found explicit pictures on her husband's phone, he lied about it and she came here where she received the brutal truth from members. That topic was all over the internets within a couple of days and the topic soon had 100s of thousands of views.)

Bud

Thanks for that. Much more constructive than the last comment. It's only the restriction code I can't recall, not the access passcode. So I can currently access the device, just not age restricted content. Does that's make a difference? I also wondered if anyone knew how many attempts you get to try to get it right. Now tried 21 times and so far nothing bad has happened but I am concerned I'll eventually be completely locked out of the device. That doesn't seem in the spirit of things though. Surely it's foreseeable that a child could repeatedly try to guess the code so I can't see that it would be right to lock the device down completely in that circumstance, particularly if the access code is being typed in correctly every time.
Thanks

Can a fill-in-the-blank or dropdown menu question have variable answers?

Hello -- I'm trying to create a fill-in-the-blank or dropdown menu question that allows the user to enter an anser with room for error. For example, if the user enters "0.30", then "0.28" and "0.32" would still be correct. Is there a javascript or something that would allow that? I'm willing to pay for a solution.

Perhaps so, but even with that range, I'd still likely opt for what I said earlier. It would seem simpler than devising an Advanced Action. Just list the following as acceptable answers.
0.28
0.29
0.30
0.31
0.32
And I might even go farther and list these too.
.28
.29
.30
.31
.32
But that's just me.

Why are dumb questions asked and answered here?

I just don't get it?

1. A lot of people may not know how to search efficiently to get the answers they are looking for. Search tools are a wondrous thing.
2. Some are antisocial and believe everything should be done online and everything should be tailored to themselves even trivial questions.
3. Some people were sent by CSR who don't know the answer here to find answers from other customers.

Cycle back to unanswered questions

I am using Captivate 4. I have created a quiz consisting of a few random question slides that take questions out of the same pool of even more questions. I have allowed users to skip questions till the end of the quiz. When they reach the end, I would like the quiz to cycle back to the first unanswered question without the result slide appearing, of course. Then, again, at the end of the quiz, cycle back again until all question are answered, then we can see the results page. I tried using advanced actions and particularly the cpQuizInfoTotalUnansweredQuestions system variable which I added to a "On slide enter" function of a blank slide before the results page so it can check if all questions have been answered, then proceed to the next slide which is the results page, a thing that for some reason it doesn't do. On the other side, if not all questions have been answered how can I track the first unanswered question in the quiz so I can send the playback there? Someone should have come across this scenario, I hope.
Also, I would like to ask of there is a way to customize the review questions proccess and instead of showing each question one at a time, to list all questions at once with the correct answer and the answer the user chose.
Thanks in advance.

This is why I put the bank slides set at a half-second each between each question slide. You can set an advanced action upon entrance of these slides. So my advanced action looks at the variable for the next slide and checks to see if the value is > 0. If it is, it jumps to the following slide (which is another blank slide and that one executes another version of the same command. In terms of the Submit button, what I meant to say is that I set the same (separate) advanced action no matter if the user gets the question right or wrong. This one changes the value of the variable associated with the slide from 0 to 1 and then advances to the next slide.
So in a 3-question quiz, it would look like this...
Blank -> Slide 1 -> Blank -> Slide 2 ->
Slide 2 as the second-to-last question would have it own advanced action upon exit that looks to see if either slide has a value > 0. If both are > 0, it jumps to the final question. If either has a value of 0, it jumps to slide that tells the user he or she has unanswered questions and gives them the opportunity to go back.
Once the user goes back, the blank slides SHOULD cycle past all completed slides (since they have a value > 0) and stop only on the uncompleted slides.
I am still working out the final details. And once I get them working this way, I would like to see if I could do it with a more elegant plan, using fewer variables and actions. But the basics are working for me right now.

Why does this site have online chat when you can never actually chat - always "not available"? I was trying to get a simple question answered without calling and being on hold for 10 minutes?

Why do I have to answer security questions

Why do I have to answer security questions? I made this account like 3 years ago and i dont remember the answers

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

It sounds as though it doesn't think that you are typing in the correct answers.
If it's not accepting them and you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
If you don't have a rescue email address then see if the instructions on this user tip helps : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551

I won't mark my archived, unanswered questions as 'answered'

The 'My Questions' link brings up a list of questions I've posted, with the as-yet unanswered ones at the top of the list, begging to be marked as answered. But they can beg all they want, because they weren't answered and that's that.

That's entirely your call. Just curious ... why were
you thinking that you were required to mark
them as answered?
I wasn't. I was, however, noticing that every time I post a request for help with a problem yet receive no responses that solve the problem, the list of unresolved questions on my My Questions page grows by one, and, further, I was thinking that, since those questions eventually become archived and it's therefore impossible for anyone to answer them if they haven't already, it behooves Apple Discussions to allow the option of marking an archived question as 'Never Answered', or otherwise remove such old, unanswerable posts from the most prominent position on the My Questions page, where the administrators seem to have positioned them so as to encourage me to flag them as answered.
