Slide.ElapsedTime variable

Hi,

I've designed a slide about answering a ringing phone within a certain number of rings.

I'm trying to use the elapsed slide time variable to drive the feedback

I can't get it to work....

There are three possible outcomes with three different feedbacks.

1 - answered too quickly

2 - just right

3 - took too long

Would someone be kind enough to look it over and help me understand where I've gone wrong?

Here's the review link, and the .story is attached below.

  • You can't modify or alter the value of built-in variables like "Slide.ElapsedTime" in your case. To avoid conflicts, you should disable or remove any triggers attempting to set its value manually.

    The "Slide.ElapsedTime" variable is measured in milliseconds (ms). In the attached .story file, I’ve adjusted the conditional statements to correctly reflect "Slide.ElapsedTime" in milliseconds.
