Unfortunately most interactive questions just tell the person they were wrong it they weren't right, or smack the right answer in they face.

I like the possibility to give "tutorial" feedback for wrong answers that can put the learner on the right path. I've used a PERL script based on http://www.civeng.carleton.ca/~nholtz/tut/doc/doc.html
for interactive questions in math and physics.  You can specify different feedback for different (even overlapping) intervals and it recognizes a lot of number formats directly.  1/2  0.5  2/4   5E-1 5*10**-1 would all be considered equal. It alse has a hinting function. I would like to develop a more portable version in perhaps JavaScript

I could translate some example if any one is interested (my pages are in Swedish).
