ask [] for () secs :: sensing
Basically, it is like the normal ask block, but after () seconds, it will stop asking and set the answer to an empty string.
Example Use:
when green flag clicked
set [pts v] to []
set [question # v] to []
say [Welcome to the SCRATCH GAMESHOW!!]
play sound [intro and croud v] until done
ask [Question 1: What does the stop block do? You have 10 seconds] for (10) secs :: sensing
points check
ask [Question 2: What does the x/y position/direction/costume/backdrop number/name/size/volume/variable of the stage/a sprite sensing block do? You have 10 seconds] for (10) secs :: sensing
points check
ask [Question 3: What does the abs/sqrt/sin/cos/tan/asin/acos/atan/nl/log/e^/10^ of () operators block do? You have 10 seconds] for (10) secs :: sensing
points check
ask [Question 4: What does the set video transparency to () block do? You have 10 seconds] for (10) secs :: sensing
points check
ask [Question 5: Who is the founder of Scratch? You have 10 seconds] for (10) secs :: sensing
points check
ask [Question 6: How do you get a Scratch cat emoji onto the forums? You have 10 seconds] for (10) secs :: sensing
points check
say (join [End of gameshow. You got ] (join (pts) [ points. Wanna play again? Click the green flag.]))

define points check
if <(answer) = (item (question #) of [answers v] :: list)> then
start sound [right v] :: sound
say [CORRECT!] for (2) secs
change [pts v] by (1)
else
if <(answer) = []> then
say [too slow...] for (2) secs
else
start sound [wrong v] :: sound
say [Incorrect.] for (2) secs
end
end
change [question # v] by (1)

Support because it seems like something that could be useful. And even if there's a workaround we have the change variable by # block which has an easy workaround - it's still there though.

Support, but is this a good workaround?

when green flag clicked
set [answered? v] to [0]
broadcast [Question v]
ask [YOU ONLY HAVE 10 SECONDS TO ANSWER!!] and wait
set [answered? v] to [1]

when I receive [Question v]
wait (10) secs
if <(answered?) = [0]> then

Please note that I may sometimes make a mistake and give wrong information.

Can you please put this at/near the top of your signature and tell people that tag spam isn't allowed and it manipulates the algorithm, to start a chain and spread the word? - Thanks, @EDawg2011.

But then I had a very good idea. I used F5. See, using F5 gave me a whole new perspective and I was able to see a chest I couldn't have seen before.

I'm remaining neutral on this suggestion, but here's a workaround for those who want it:

when green flag clicked
broadcast [ask question 1 v]
set [saved answer v] to (answer)

when I receive [ask question 1 v]
ask [What is 1 + 1? You have 5 seconds to answer...] and wait

when I receive [ask question 1 v]
wait (5) secs
stop [other scripts in sprite v]
broadcast [answer question 1 v]

when I receive [answer question 1 v]
if <not <(saved answer) = (answer)>> then
say (join [Got an answer: ] (answer)) for (2) secs
else
say [No answer provided!] for (2) secs
end
