When answering a question please:

Read the question carefully.
Understand that English isn't everyone's first language so be lenient of bad spelling and grammar.
If a question is poorly phrased then either ask for clarification, ignore it, or edit the question and fix the problem. Insults are not welcome.
Don't tell someone to read the manual. Chances are they have and don't get it. Provide an answer or move on to the next question.

I assume this is a website, quiz websites seem to be a common homework task. So, you probably want to get your questions from a common source, which builds a random list and stores it for use by everyone. This could be your db, or the application object, or simply an algorithm that appears random, but always gives the same result ( for example built on a random number generator, seeded by the current time to the nearest hour, or todays date, or whatever, depending on how often you want them to change ).
