Why would this be? When I reset the value (deleted the 10 setting) it showed all 22 questions again in random order.

Whether the question has an image or should not affect the number of questions or randomizing of the questions. etc. Are you pulling the questions from a URL or are they included in the app's configuration data? Have you looked at the console for clues? Also, are you saying the quiz doesn't show the image for a question that has one or are you saying if it uses an image it never selects that question from the list of 22? You got a weird one here ;-) Comments Don't know, good question.

Could it be that we have an issue that's related to something else? 'never selects the image which are built into the app' - I think I know what you mean. But... the images included in your app, or whether they load or not, has nothing to do with the number of questions. Again, I'm trying to figure this out but just don't see how this could happening. a) App reads the questions from your panel, all of them, regardless of how many will be used. b) App randomized the quesitons if you chose randomize in the control panel. This happens in the countdownToStartDone method...everytime the quiz re-starts the random logic happens. c) When each question transitions in, it may or may not have an image. If it does..it uses it. I don't have the images you've used in your project but did setup a quiz like the one you did. I tried to duplicate your setup. It worked as expected? I'm thinking there is something else causing the image problem that is not related to the randomizing, number of question, or list of questions. Maybe tinker a bit more and see if you can find ANOTHER way to make it break...if another symptom can be found, like it won't work when something other than the number of questions is changed we may learn more? at a loss for now.
