Ok, now I see how your odds were different. Very good eye and logic there.
I don't think it affected most people.
It's been played over 10,200 times, and you're the first to notice (or at least report) the error.
It is fixed now, so thank you for the report.
And congrats on your 100% score (both the game and in general) and also for your keen eye.

Eleomora:
Regarding your comment on my game: "How Lucky Are You? Quiz-style ":
The chances of getting 100% in any one playing are 1 in 4800 as described, not 960.
The 1st question has 4 answers, so your chances of getting it right are 1/4 = .25
The 2nd has 5, so your chances there are 1/5=.20
the chances of getting the two correct are 1/5 * 1/4 = 1/(4 * 5) = 1/20 =.05
You multiply the two, as they are assumed to be independent (your success on one does not influence chances on the next).
for the first three, it is 1/4 * 1/5 * 1/5 = 1/(4 * 5 * 5) = 1/100
And for all the questions it is:
1/(4 * 5 * 5 * 4 * 2 * 3 * 2) = 1/4800
No need to divide by five.
But as you say, you are lucky.
I see you've played it several times, which does improve your odds. But the odds given are in terms of a single play.
A lot of people won't play this game because of the long odds: it holds down their overall scores.
So thank you for playing.
