Yesterday, I needed to prepare about twenty test papers with 10 questions per a paper. Examples: "1. convert Dec 36 into Hex", "2. convert Bin 10010101 into Dec", etc. The wording of every question has not to be changed through papers, only numbers had.
Nice :)

Luatex did the rest of the job perfectly, and in minute I had test papers with identical questions but all different figures! I only had to cut papers apart and hand out to my students.
