Due to the nature of the "Allow single-character answers" option, it's either have multiple entries pop up for a single letter, or disable single-character answers like "7" and "h", so unfortunately it's a limitation of the quiz creator. Sorry.

Yeah, British keyboards are different, how odd. Do you think you could accept 'open brackets' and 'close brackets'? I didn't know what to refer to them as!

You're missing the menu key. "Hyphen" should be accepted in place on "minus," and "apostrophe" should be accepted instead of "quote."

Boy do I feel stupid. I sat there pushing all the buttons, including Shift, Control, Alt, Tab, etc, not figuring out why they weren't working.

This is hilarious. I got 76 without looking at the keyboard, but I kept spotting clues all over the screen without wanting to. (there's a colon! and a slash!)

I managed to miss 'm' too, funny! There seems to be some inconsistancy over what we have to type out in full (Scr lock as Scroll lock, but Num lock not as Number lock). Any chance of having 'open bracket' and 'close bracket'?

most of my laptops buttons are abbreviated so i didnt know that "PRTSC" was print screen. or that there was even a print screen button in the first place

Hmm...maybe it's counting all of the test runs I did where I'd only test a couple of answers then quit. I'll also add in scr lock/number lock, and add some more bracket answers.

also, @fm_: apostrophe and quote aren't the same. Apostrophe = ' Quote = "

you should add 'any key' or 'the any key' as a bonus answer.

Okay, these quiz results are completely random. "P" is guessed 99.9% of the time and other letters are less. Looks like many people forgot about zero. Look at the drop-off between the least-guessed and the second least-guessed. Oh, and I forgot the space bar.

I got equals and missed tilde, but on the results page it shows the opposite. Probably the reason for the big drop off for the = sign.
