I used to use a cgi script called 'quiztest' before switching to moodle. an excellent software, it had all the features like moodle quizzes (almost) and it had the power to e-mail the results.
you may try it out and customise to you requirement. if you want the script, tell me...i'll send u the url.....it's very simple and as is the case with cgi scripts, very flexible. but it doesn't have paypal plugin which is vital sometimes.

YOU MIGHT BE A MOODLER IF:-
When you go to the convocation ceremony to recieve your diploma in the University, you see everyone in black hats and you seethe with rage coz your initial reaction is that they have stolen MOODLE's trademark
OR
When you go to the convocation ceremony to recieve your diploma in the Universityand you see everyone in black hats, you jump with joy coz you think it's a Moodle forum you have stumbled upon.

Please remember that computer will follow an algorithm for picking out the questions. this makes it almost 100% that at least one question will be repeated.
you can calculate the repeatability question of any particular question by using the permutation-combination formula to do this. you will then realize that each question will have 33% chance of appearing in any given attempt.
I won't bother to calculate the exact probability, but try to attempt the quiz 25-30 times yourself and u;ll find almost 1/3 questions getting repeated.
don't expect that the comp will pick all question A for first attempt, then all Q B for second attempt etc.........
In fact you can do this through lesson or even a simple web page. Make three quizzes ; all with all different options.
then a web page asks the student which attempt is it? clicking on attempt 1 starts quiz 1, attmpt 2 sytarts quiz 2 and so on........a little bit of extra work but u'll get what u want.
don't forget to hide the direct links of quizzzes otherwise students will skip the guiding webpage.
allow only one attempt per quiz to prevent repeatitions (purposeful or inadvertant)

Tim hunt is the authority on this.
I am just guessing.
is it possible that option one shows students with attempts but, if, your quiz has been taken by a guest with a key then the guest will not be in student list but will be there in attempts.
of this works only if u have that function enabled.(i still say i am guessing)
OR
maybe the list of attempts will maintain the data of older students who have now been unenrolled.
both are pure conjectures.
