I Think there's something wrong with this quiz:

Most of this quiz is filled with inputs right? I Mostly tried the whole results /s, /t, /n And it Does not work, Why?.

Hiya again! It says you've to select only the tab character. And Tab character is denoted by \t. Do that and you're good to go. (:

There is a difference between '\s' and '/s'. Only the first one works. This symbol is called a backslash.
