How to use exercise.sty for an exercise with several questions

Question

This should be easy, but I just cannot figure it out reading the documentation. Somehow I get confused by all this Exercise/ExePart/subQuestion, etc.

Basically I want to typeset an exercise which consists of an introduction followed by several enumerated questions. So in the end it should look something like:

Ex. 1 - Some longish introductory text to a very difficult Exercise 
        blablablabla tralala....

        1. The first question
        2. The second question
               ...

Since this is part of an ExerciseList environment I tried the following:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[lastexercise]{exercise}
\begin{document}
\begin{ExerciseList}
     \Exercise Some longish introductory text to a very difficult Exercise blablablabla tralala....

     \Question The first question
     \Answer The first answer
     \Question The second question
     \Answer The second answer
\end{ExerciseList}
\end{document}

However this does not work. Only the first question appears in the output and all subsequent questions are not visible. How can I fix this?

Answer 1

The following is how I understand the package's documentation, so there might be errors in what I write here.

First of: The \Answer is only an answer to an \Exercise, not a \Question.

The enumeration of \Questions only works if they follow each other (without an \Answer or \Exercise in between).

If \Questions follows an \Exercise with no \Answer in between they are considered belonging to the \Exercise, if they follow an \Answer they belong to that \Answer. That's why if you include the option noanswer the second \Question isn't displayed.

So how would I generate your stuff? Like this:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[lastexercise]{exercise}
\begin{document}
\begin{ExerciseList}
     \Exercise Some longish introductory text to a very difficult Exercise blablablabla tralala....
     \Question The first question
     \Question The second question
     \Answer Answer of the exercise
     \Question Answer of the first question
     \Question Answer of the second question
\end{ExerciseList}
\end{document}

I guess that's the way you should use the ExerciseList. That's the result (without noanswer):
