Hello @B3atriz , Please fllow the below steps to achieve the requirement. Step 1: Create 9 embedded data( i.e. except block 5 ) for each block and set them as 0. Step 2: Create a first Randomizer with show "4" survey element and group the blocks with the respective embedded data set to 1. Step 3: Create another Randomizer with show "5" survey element and put branch logic to show respective block if respective embedded data is 0. Step 4: Put Block 5 between the two randomizer in survey flow. Please find the attached QSF for reference.

    im really new to qualtrics so i don't know how to open the attachment o.o i don't think i followed it right, when i preview it it shows no questions. the question i made was an easier to explain version than what i need to do: i need to show a first block, then randomly select one of two 'paths', and inside each of those paths (is where the problem is) i have 10 blocks, and i want to present them all randomly except the first and the last. then i want the everyone, regardless of which path they took, merge in the same last block (i think i know how to do this last bit). when someone first showed me how to do it they didn't use any embebed data...
