‘Press F5 to Try Again’. That doesn’t work on OS X. Maybe change the text to ‘Reload page to play again’?

I just pressed it and it worked. Remember you need to press the Fn key first (at least on mine).

  I’m typing this on a desktop with a full-size Apple keyboard, so I don’t need to press the Function key to use F-commands. In Chrome, Safari, and Firefox, the keyboard shortcut to reload a page is Command-R. What browser are you using?

    I'm using Firefox and Fn + F5 works every time. Strange!

  Macs have had function keys since forever and right click for quite some time now. I appreciate that you're trying to make a joke, but the platform wars are over and everybody won, you can go home and get work done now.

    i still only see one mouse button on the touchpads and mouses (unless you buy an after market mouse, even if it's from apple) on a side note, i consider a major loss, as my work issued laptop only has right and left mouse buttons. when a 1990 compaq already had a middle button there as well (not to mention a trackball instead of the lame touchpad) :)

      For a mouse, you get a right click by pressing the button on the right side, and a left click by pressing the button on the left side. You can middle click by pressing both. This is enabled through a setting. For a trackpad, you get a right click by pressing with two fingers, and a left click by pressing with one fingers. I can see how if you don't do your homework you would be under the impression that this is not possible. This has been true since 2005, I think. Maybe you haven't used a Mac seriously in more than eight years, in which case you might reconsider your qualifications for discussing them.
