Some time ago I realized ConTeXt has "blocks" which allow one to make quizzes, exams and related with ease. However, I want to know if there's an option to randomize their order when printed. Thank you in advance.

I have some examples which I have been using for several years (they are useful especially in these days of giving exams online…): I can send them to you as they are, or if you tell me what kind of problems you want, then I can adapt my examples before sending them to you.

I had something a little bit different in mind, but your examples gave me some ideas, especially the shuffling stuff. If I have something new to add, I will share my results with the list. Thank you a lot.
