Cloze questions sometimes become corrupted in the database. For example, what used to be:

Buses aren't as {1:MULTICHOICE:fast~fast than~=fast as~faster than} trains.

becomes:

Buses aren't as {#1} trains.

This has happened a few different times in the past, but most recently it's happened to a cloze question which had 50 points in it. This time when I tried to fix it, it kept reverting back to the broken form. It finally worked when I tried saving it as a "new question". Also, in the past i've got around the problem by editing the cloze question when it was in "HTML editing mode".. the WYSIWYG editor often corrupted it. However, i'm not sure what brought on the corruption this time.. it just seemed to happen on its own.
