Yes, it seems that typing any letter of the alphabet awards you two points before you even take the quiz.

It's not intentional, its something that happens as a result of the way the cells are set up to display the quote. I'm not sure where the legacy answer cells are so I wasn't able to remove them; I've looked at each individual cell in the final version and none of them are extra answer cells.
