When testing, some users were randomized twice; that is, they did the whole thing twice in two different conditions. I can't find anything in the script that would indicate to do that-- each randomization option ends with an end page, and is only selected 1/28 times. Has anyone else come across this? Is this an Inquisit 5 bug?&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Would really appreciate any advice or ideas! Thanks so much.&amp;nbsp;</description><pubDate>Tue, 07 Nov 2017 09:20:21 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>beccabos</dc:creator></item><item><title>RE: Randomizing twice?</title><link>https://forums.millisecond.com/Topic22825.aspx</link><description>&lt;div data-id="22823" class="if-quote-wrapper" unselectable="on" data-guid="1510075034278"&gt;&lt;a class="quote-para" unselectable="on" style="display: none;" href="#" data-id="22823" title="Move Cursor Below" contenteditable="false"&gt;&lt;span unselectable="on"&gt;+&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a class="quote-delete" unselectable="on" style="display: none;" href="#" data-id="22823" title="Delete Quote" contenteditable="false"&gt;&lt;span unselectable="on"&gt;x&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span unselectable="on" class="quote-markup"&gt;[quote]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div unselectable="on" class="if-quote-header" contenteditable="false"&gt;&lt;div unselectable="on" class="if-quote-toggle-wrapper"&gt;&lt;a class="if-quote-toggle quote-link" href="#" data-id="22823" title=" "&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span unselectable="on" class="quote-markup"&gt;[b]&lt;/span&gt;beccabos - Tuesday, November 7, 2017&lt;span unselectable="on" class="quote-markup"&gt;[/b]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="if-quote-message if-quote-message-22823"&gt;&lt;div class="if-quote-message-margin"&gt;Hello,&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I have a script that includes randomizing users to one of 28 conditions.

It's either a mistake in the script, or the respective participants actually started the script twice (getting condition X in the 1st run, condition Y in the 2nd run). It's impossible for me to say anything more without seeing the actual code as well as the data (including subject and group ids) for the "users [who] were randomized twice."&lt;br/&gt;</description><pubDate>Tue, 07 Nov 2017 09:20:21 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Dave</dc:creator></item></channel></rss>
