My worst score ever. Not happy about the qwerty question as 2 answers were in the question and both remaining answers are correct or incorrect as either both or neither s and/or d are directly below e. The gap between s and d is directly below e.
Mine too but this wasn't one of them D is more under E than S and when you type your finger goes up from D to E.

The answer to question 2 is erroneous, it should I believe be Saturn!, which as an aside would have given me a clean sweep as questions are being repeated to often to soon?.
