Say there are 10 options that can be selected in any order and each 
combination produces a different result. Is there some way to approach 
judging the options to choose the result without having such a tree full 
of IF statements:

if (a && b && c...) {
   //
} else if (a && b && !c...) {
   //
} else if (a && !b && !c...) {
   //
} else if (!a && b && !c...) {
   //
} else if (!a && !b && !c...) {
...

Currently I'm working on an elearning question where there are multiple 
options and different combinations of selected options gives different 
feedback. There isn't 10! possible feedback but enough to make the 
building and testing of the question slow going.
