I tried, but to no avail. I did not try for hours, because I don't
like devoting much time to a light problem such as this one (I have
other problems to solve first).

Using the best PGP package with as few problems as possible.

Well, that's a basic inference.

What a student gives on his paper after an exam is a set of different
`solutions,' hoping one for each question, by definition.

These solutions are expected to be as much exact as possible. Or it is
possible for each sub-solution (which still inherits of `solution'
properties) not to answer totally correctly. Or it looks like you see
this with no `fuzzy logic:' it is either true or false, just like
boolean values. Then, if a student does not obtain a mark of 100%, he
has either failed at some question(s), or not answered at least at one
question.

My statement was too strong, and I realize it. But saying that a
solution is either correct or not is, at least to me, too
`black-and-white.' Between black and white, there's also gray :)
