Unfortunately I do not know the random seed assigned to the student. After I created an edited version of the problem just for her in which I removed the scaffolding, she ran into another issue where her first answer, ln(u), which previously had been marked correct, could now not be verified by the WeBWorK answer checker because a sufficient number of points could not be found. Does the random seed change if a new problem is substituted for the original problem? Anyway, in the hope of a quick fix to that new issue, I changed the random seed to a different number, but I didn't record the original random seed. Sorry.

I did look at her past answers and in her very first attempt all of her answers to the parts in the first section of the scaffolding were correct. It looks like she then tried resubmitting those same three answers twice more which suggests to me that the second section had not opened for her from the very beginning.

I don't know how to check the status in the database.
