Custom Validation Without Hard Stops

So I created a series of questions that participants have to answer and tied the text form boxes together with the logic shown below. The custom validation works a blt too well, so to speak, since it creates a hard stop when a participant inputs incorrect data. I merely want to point out to them that their response was incorrect and give them three tries total to get the answers right. But with the custom validation I built, it is serving as a hard stop for participants. Questions ! Logic !
