Calculated questions are like numerical questions but with the numbers used selected randomly from a

set when the quiz is taken. Calculated questions enable individual numerical questions to be created using wildcards in curly brackets that are substituted

with individual values when the quiz is taken. For example, the question "What is the area of a

rectangle of length {l} and width {w}?" would have correct answer formula "{l}*{w}" (where * denotes

multiplication).
