version details of moodle please
and platform details

Dear Uwe

terminology is of ultimate importance
by calling them blocks, you had sent us in the wrong direction.

Anyway.
login as admin>> enter the course>> settings>> number of topics/weeks >> make it 10 or whatever>> save changes this way you alter the number of topics

from what the other person has suggested as hide/unhide remaining topics, it doesn't look applicable to your course coz the first screen shot not ok.jpg  shows that apparently you have only one topic in that course.

admin>> configuration>> blocks

here you can see which ones are enabled and which are not and change them

This is perfectly feasible and we do it all the time.

please read moodle's official documentation and the wiki where we all can also contribute.

a good place to begin ishttp://docs.moodle.org/en/Main_Page

The Quiz module allows the teacher to design and set quizzes consisting of a large variety of Question types, among them multiple choice, true-false, and short answer questions. These questions are kept in the course Question bank and can be re-used within courses and between courses. Quizzes can allow multiple attempts. Each attempt is automatically marked, and the teacher can choose whether to give feedback and/or show the correct answers.

Feedback on performance is a critical part of a learning environment and assessment is one of the most important activities in education. As educators, we can’t tell what’s going on inside the heads of students, so we need a way for them to demonstrate what they understand and what they don’t. A well-designed test, even a multiple-choice test, can give you critical information about student performance. If the feedback is rapid enough, it can also be a critical tool for students to gauge their own performance and help them become more successful.

Moodle’s quiz module has a large number of options and tools, making it extremely flexible. You can create quizzes with different question types, randomly generated quizzes from pools of questions, allow students to have repeated attempts at a question or retake quizzes multiple times, and have the computer score it all.

These features open up a number of strategies which usually aren’t practical with paper based testing. It’s hard enough to score one batch of quizzes, and nearly impossible to score it 10 times for each student. When the computer does the work for you, it’s easy to give students a chance to practice taking a test, or to give frequent small quizzes. We explore how to apply these advantages on the page Effective quiz practices.

B- Question with no name (but with enclosing colons)

::::Which of the following are capitals:{
    ~%50%Paris#ok
    ~%50%London#ok
    ~Olaf#no way
}

Flip side: if imported in this format, when you will try to add questions to the quiz, you will see a vertical line of any number of blank questions.

So you will have a helluva lot of confusion if you want to pick and choose your question. But if you want to add any 10 random questions, it works fine.

as a sample, see this picture attached. you cant differentiate them. so be forewarned.
