I have 2 slides where the user is asked to choose 5 from 10 options on each slide. On the 3rd slide I want to then display the 10 choices in 2 groups of 5 back to the user. I am trying to use variables but my issue is I don't know what 5 choices the user will make in each case. e.g. "choice1" could be any of 10, and then "choice2" could be any of 9 etc. Do I need to familiarise myself with javascript or is there a different approach?
I realise I could use states and only show the chosen items but they will not be in a nice list of 5 items, one below the other. I will need to make space for all 10 possibilities.
Without seeing your file I may be wrong, but I doubt using states alone will work in this case. I can't see how the chosen states on one slide can be 'carried over' to the summary slide without using variables. It would certainly take a bunch of triggers, but this could be done with variables, not need for Javascript.
Whew, David... if I remember my math correctly, you have 30,240 possible outcomes for each list (10 x 9 x 8 x 7 x 6). Maybe that's too many triggers and variables? :) That said, I'm not sure of another way to do this and have a nice neat list as you say (as opposed to having choice 1, 5, 6, 8 and 10 show with spaces between them). I would say to also post your idea in our Building Better Courses forum and see if you can get more input there!

Thanks Crystal - it has me stumped
