setsystemval in Quiz

I wonder... I have not actually tried this, but it may work.

define x = 1 if ((<your condition>) AND (setsystemval...))

logic would say that if the first condition is false, there is no need
to evaluate the second.

Try it and see.

The difficult we do immediately,
the impossible takes a little longer.
