LOL, a silly game 😃 If you mistype, don’t delete it, just post it. Let me try first: taskmgr.exe ---

silenus OK, that was fairly easy. My students are looking at me rather strangely, though. (I knew I should have kicked them out at the start of lunch.) ---

Suuure it’s easy for you folks who don’t have capital letters! Here we go: etA: Oh bugger. Why didn’t it take? Oh well, I got some weird looks, not gonna retry till I get home. ---

> [@Maggie\_the\_Ocelot](#): > > etA: Oh bugger. Why didn’t it take? Oh well, I got some weird looks, not gonna retry till I get home. Did you try and hit Caps Lock for the “M”? You probably bumped the Tab key and moved the cursor out of the text field. ---

Chronos OK, the ‘r’ and the two 'o’s were tricky, since my head was bumping into the monitor, but I managed it. I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t have been able to do numbers, though. ---

RadicalPi I wouldn’t have been able to do it, though, if someone hadn’t pointed out that I could use the Caps Lock key. ---

The4CFhilp;4eaqnjmBLOP0HB Wow, I suck. In my defense, I had to press pretty hard to get the letters to register which also pressed the ones around them. I guess I have a fat nose. ---

kii8deswru7ffy I raised the keyboard to my face too, for all the good it did
 Damned if I was going to try to throw caps lock into the mix, with this horrible showing. But dammit, I’m not even in the running for last place, with **TheChileanBlob** ’s entry

SeaDragonTattoo There was some backspacing in there after I missed turning the caps lock off for TATTOO. Totally doable once I closed one eye and looked at the tip of my nose. I started out typing above where I thought I was. Oh, and having a wireless keyboard prolly made it a little easier. Glad no one was around to see me doing that. ---
