 correct = 0;
 possible = 0;
 
 for j,k in Correct do
 possible = possible + 1;
 if k == "Correct" then

I'm pretty sure it does, what specific problem are you having?

it works, you just need to tweek the code a little bit. Desomds code refers to paragraph2, but by default AMS will name a new paragraph object paragraph1

So - you can either re-name your paragraphs, or change the code. :yes
