I hadn't thought of the 'different random sample' approach.
That's neat.

Yes, I am quite proud of that. The program that does the sampling
and mailing is called "Distras".
Is that problem part of an open source project?
That is my intention. Currently the program is written in Delphi
(version 7), but it should be relatively easy to transfer it into a
version that can be compiled with an open source Pascal compiler.
I hope you'll keep the community posted on that. If you ever have a
need for a function in R for linux that makes e-mailing easy, I have one.
Now, that is interesting. I have not thought abut mailing from R. The
main reason for writing the program in Delphi was that I had the
compiler already and that is simple to program something that could
mail. Having a copy of a mailing function for Linux would be useful in
any case, so my response would simply be: Yes please. Would that
function work with Ubuntu?
Yes. The version I have now does not send attachments. It is easy to
send attachments if you install the mutt package in Ubuntu and call mutt
through system().

One issue I need to face is that for project assignments involving
more comprehensive analyses of datasets there are many right answers
so automatic checking of results is difficult.
Yes, that would be tricky. The problems my students get are quite
simpleminded. In any case, the checking is not automatic, I still have
to compare the answers from the students with my solution "manually".
