Fill in the blank question. Possibly broken?

The following question is part of this quiz, and what I believe is the correct answer is scoring as incorrect.

  Fill in the blank to place a tab character in the string:

  headline = "Website: ________Treehouse"

To add a tab character the user should enter /t

I've tried this and get incorrect. Am I missing anything, or is this a broken question?

Thanks!

Adam
