Hello!
One of the benefits of using a lightbox over layers, is that complex interactions can be easier to build and manage as separate lightboxed slides. But you have less control over the appearance of a lightbox than layers.
However, with Javascript it is possible to remove the default 'close' button and to hide the base slide. This makes the lightbox perform a bit more like a layer.
This 'pick one' quiz tracks your actions within the lightbox and provides adaptive feedback. With just two options, you'd be forgiven for thinking it's a 50/50 shot. But if you don't view all of the information in the lightbox, or misinterpret this information, you won't get a pass.

Hi Jonathan! Thank you for this insight! I haven't really played with lightbox that much because I could not quite understand when/why I would use that vs. a layer.
- Thanks Laura. I like to think of lightboxes as 'layers with extra RAM'.
