Creating multiple columns of different width

Question

I'm pretty new to LaTeX and am using it to write an exam. I'm using the geometry package to create two columns. I'd like one column to be 5" and the second column to be 1" with 0.5" separating the columns and 1" for the left and right margins. How do I go about doing this?

Answer 1

Maybe you don't want the real two-column document of different width, in which a free text stream can be used.

If you may break the columns manually, flowfram package is powerful enough.
