Hi! This is my second challenge and my first foray into variables, so I decided to keep it simple. I used a random variable that gives you a different quote every time you hit the button. Is there a setting that will stop the randomizer from picking the same number twice in a row? Thanks!

Nice one Robert - the talking teddy bear is a good concept for this feature.
Unfortunately there isn't a built-in setting to stop the 'randomiser' picking the same number twice in a row. The unwanted repeat can be quite noticeable with smaller ranges.
There are a couple of Javascript solutions kicking around, but I favour a method that cross references the number chosen by the 'randomiser' against a list of numbers already chosen. Essentially comparing the random number variable against another variable.
I've achieved this in my demo by switching to a less random method of selecting one of the 10 options once 5 of them have been viewed.
It's quite advanced and a bit tricky to set up, but I'm currently writing a blog about it and will update my post (above) once published.

- Thanks! I have no idea how to program in java, so I'm look forward to your blog.
