Uses the variables a_to_b and b_to_a so they can be replaced with the student's answers, enabling adaptive marking.

The student has to compute $a^b$ and $b^a$, then decide which of the two is bigger.

This question shows how to set up a custom marking matrix for the \"choose one from a list\" part, based on values used elsewhere in the question. It could use adaptive marking to use the student's incorrect values for the comparison, but doesn't at the moment.
