I have a similar issue. I have a quiz (set up like a treasure hunt/capture-the-flag) that has scenarios and 60 questions. The duration is stating it can be completed in 8 minutes. You can't even click all the slides in 8 minutes. What could be causing this?

      I found a way to adjust the time estimation by hand to make it more accurate. Thank you, though!
