Hints -- technical issue
11/10/2013: In PG there are, for historical reasons, $showHints which contains the number of attempts before a hint can be shown. Another flag, $displayHintsQ, is used to indicate whether the "show hints" check box has been checked.
This is confusing and should be changed in the code, but showHints will have to be changed in a great many places. Even worse in some files outside of PG it appears that $showHints plays the same role $displayHintsQ plays inside of PG. This is not a hard change but will require careful checking.
