I am going to have to try the above!!!!

So far, to keep track of the multiple-choice exam versions I have  
used, as well as the seed number, the following

			\newcounter{hours}\newcounter{minutes}

			\newcommand{\printtime}%
				{%begin definition
					\setcounter{hours}{\time/60}%
					\setcounter{minutes}{\time-\value{hours}*60}%
					\thehours:\theminutes%
				}%end definition

Intrigued regards
