The unicorn is a mythical creature. Strong, wild, and fierce, it was impossible to tame by man. Plinie, the Roman naturalist records it as "a very ferocious beast, similar in the rest of its body to a horse, with the head of a deer, the feet of an elephant, the tail of a boar, a deep, bellowing voice, and a single black horn, two cubits in length, standing out in the middle of its forehead."
2) Unicorns are real?
* True
- False
3) What shade of white is this unicorn?
- Marshmallow
* Moon glow
- Egg shell

Could be a useful format, but I think we have better options
```{r letter-a, echo=FALSE}
question("What number is the letter A in the English alphabet?",
answer("8"),
answer("14"),
answer("1", correct = TRUE),
answer("23")
)
```

Has own YAML format with Python converter script to CSV suitable for Blackboard Learn
Generate quizzes for Blackboard Learn™ from a YAML+Markdown specification. We use the CSV-import feature of Blackboard, but format the CSV file so the questions and answers can have code blocks or other sorts of markup.

Checkbox problems allow learners to select multiple options. Learners can see all the options along with the problem text.
When you add the problem, be sure to select Settings to specify a Display Name and other values that apply.
You can use the following example problem as a model.
>>The following languages are in the Indo-European family:<<
[x] Urdu
[ ] Finnish
[x] Marathi
[x] French
[ ] Hungarian
Note: Make sure you select all of the correct options—there may be more than one!
[explanation]
Urdu, Marathi, and French are all Indo-European languages, while Finnish and Hungarian are in the Uralic family.

Forked from Urban Institute but has a bunch of new stuff e.g. the yaml structure ...
images: []
problem_type: training
difficulty: "3"
reference: "8.3"
source: "http://www.csd.uwo.ca/courses/CS9840a/Lecture2_knn.pdf"
question: |
Given the training data
$$\mathbf{x} =
\begin{pmatrix}
3 & 3 \\
1 & 0 \\
1 & 2 \\
2 & 3 \\
2 & 1 \\
\end{pmatrix}$$
with the labels:
$$\mathbf{y} =
\begin{pmatrix}
0 \\
1 \\
0 \\
0 \\
1 \\
\end{pmatrix}$$
where an instance belonging to the $\oplus$ class is represented by
$1$ in $\mathbf{y}$, and an instance belonging to the $\ominus$
class by $0$.
Classify the test instance $(0, 1)$ using the 3 nearest neighbours
classifier with Euclidean distances by calculation
answer_type: single
answers:
- correctness: "+"
explanation: "The nearest points to $(0, 1)$ are $(1, 0)$, $(1, 2)$ and $(2, 1)$"
answer: "$\\oplus$"
- correctness: "-"
answer: "$\\ominus$"
workings: |
We need to find the distance between our test point and every point
in the training data set.
First we find the distance between the test point and training
points in each dimension.
$$\mathbf{x} - (0, 1) =
\begin{pmatrix}
3 & 2 \\
1 & -1 \\
1 & 1 \\
2 & 2 \\
2 & 0 \\
\end{pmatrix}$$
We can then apply our distance measure to work out the distances.
$$\mathbf{D(x, (0, 1))} =
\begin{pmatrix}
\sqrt{(3^2 + 2^2)} \\
\sqrt{(1^2 + {(-1)}^2)} \\
\sqrt{(1^2 + 1^2)} \\
\sqrt{(2^2 + 2^2)} \\
\sqrt{(2^2 + 0^2)} \\
\end{pmatrix}
=
\begin{pmatrix}
3.6 \\
1.4 \\
1.4 \\
2.8 \\
2 \\
\end{pmatrix}$$
The 2nd, 3rd and 5th entries are the closest to the test point,
looking this up in our training data vector $\mathbf{x}$ we see they
correspond to the following points, $(1, 0)$, $(1, 2)$ and $(2, 1)$,
which each have the classes $\oplus$, $\ominus$, $\oplus$ respectively.
We take the majority class as the prediction for our test point, $\oplus$.
hint: |
First plot the data then see whether you can visually identify the
points that are closest.
comments: |
<p>
Tests the student's knowledge of training and using a KNN model.
</p>
<p>
Since the student has to both train and test using classifier, a
fair amount of calculation, this question scores a 3 in difficulty.

https://docs.moodle.org/37/en/Aiken_format
The Aiken format lets you create multiple-choice or true-false questions using a simple, human-readable format that you can save as a plain text file and import into a Moodle course.
Write Questions in the Aiken Format
- Write your questions in a word-processing application (e.g., MS Word) or a text editor such as Notepad (Windows) or Text Edit (Mac OS X), and format as follows:
- The question must be all on one line.
- Each answer must start with a single uppercase letter, followed by a period "." or a right parenthesis ")", then a space.
- The answer line must immediately follow, starting with "ANSWER: " (with a space after the colon) and then give the letter for the correct answer.
- Note: The word "ANSWER" and the answer letters (A,B,C etc.) must be capitalized as shown, otherwise the import will fail.
- Use Save As and save your questions as a .txt (plain text) file in UTF-8 format.
Example:
The Loch Ness Monster is a type of?
A. Homonid
B. Lizard
C. Ape
D. Plesiosauria
ANSWER: D
The Coelacanth was considered a cryptid until 1938.
A) True
B) False
