Ernie's Problems-On-The-Fly

Ernie's contribution to the ISU CheMagic Web site is a Visual Basic program approach to generating basic chemistry problems. Ernie's programming ability is the only reason that Jim and Otis allow Ernie in the CheMagic Club.

The link below leads to a series of Web pages designed to programmatically generate basic chemistry problems. Each Web page in this series is devoted to one problem type. Chemistry teachers (and students) can generate new problems by simply reloading any problem Web page. These pages can be very useful as a means of quickly generating problems for student exams or student practice. Ernie will be happy to add a program page for any user suggested problems. Please use the Site Navigation email link to suggest additional problem pages.

Note from Management:
After endless whining from Ernie about his poor win/loss ratio in the mouse pointer Ernie jump contest with Gollum, Jim and Otis have reluctantly agreed to allow Ernie to win every jump contest on this (his) page. Management feels that Ernie is overreacting on this issue, but we are tired of listening to his whining. So, point the mouse at Ernie, make him jump, and watch him endlessly win – boring!
