Hello World:

Hello World is usually the very first line of code that's written when you learn a
new language

Things to note:
'total_questions' should be filled in programatically. It should reflect the
number of documents in your doc collection or view that you are going to select
docs from.

'how_many' is the number of random documents to select

Once you have run randomizer() the outlist array will contain the document
number to use in getnthdocument.
example usage:
forall x in outlist
doc = view.getnthdocument(x)
endforall

--or--
forall x in outlist
doc = collection.getnthdocument(x)
endforall

Any questions on this scripts can be sent to me at:

Custom test dbs can also be developed.. for a price of course ;-)
