You want to build a query with the questionID as one field and a random
number as the second field (re-generated each time you run the query). They
you want to order the quey by the random number and pick the top x records.
If you want to make sure you get say 10 basic, 5 intermediate, and 2
advanced then you will need to add the level, and pick the top x records
from each group.

Take a look at in the help file for random numbers.
