David,

In the `'Button1 Click'` block you want to set `'app card'` to select which item using your random number, i.e. `'app random'`. You do it correctly in your `'Screen Opens'` block, so you should be able to just copy the blocks that say `'set app card to ...'` from there. I tested out something like that and it appears to work.
