You have to guess right for it to go on, otherwise forfeit.

(I deleted my comment because clicking the big obvious question mark answered my questions. Doesn't mean I didn't find it difficult to use though.)

#13Half of them look like C with one additional keyword!

#14The score thing seems to be broken though. Clicking on forfeit doesn't seem to affect it
clicking on forfeit gets you the answer ( which is a shortcut for hitting "ESC" ) but it looks like you can only use Escape to go to the next question.
pretty cool quiz, i definitely don't know hardly any of these...

I know, I had trouble with that as well, but then I read the explanations you get if you click the question mark in the upper right corner. I will try my own explanation here.
Type your answer in the box, if you type 2 or more characters, there will be an auto complete list of matches.
If nothing happens when you choose an answer, then it's wrong.
When you choose the right answer, it will immediately switch to the next question.
If you don't know the answer you can click Forfeit or press Esc. To get rid of the correct answer that pops up when you do so and go to the next question, you have to press Esc (I didn't find a way to go to the next answer just by clicking with the mouse).

#17Some sort of feedback other than yes|no would be nice. I guessed visual basic for basic, and APL for J. I realize that is a lot of work above and beyond your MVP here, so it probably won't happen. Cool site though, it was fun to play with.

Ah, thanks! The help says to click again to go to the next one, but that doesn't seem to actually work.
Edit: ahh, it does work, but the first time I did it the red bar completely covered the forfeit link. Subsequent times it's been above and fine.

#19Won't let me answer questions (on Chrome 29.0.1547.62 for Mac OS X 10.8.4)...
edit: Oh never mind, this is just a shitty user experience. Sorry for the misunderstanding, folks.
