This bug is present in release 0.7.3.

Steps to reproduce this bug
---------------------------

Carry out a Blocks or Koch exercise. Make sure you copy the symbols correctly onto paper or into a file before entering them at Aldo's prompt. Enter everything correctly, except for the last symbol group, for which type just the first symbol and then press Enter.

Example:

Please input the signs you copied.
If you didn't copy a sign, put '@'.
1: eii
2: iei
3: iii
4: eie
5: i
[...]
1:... 2:... 3:... 4:... 5:.!!
eii iei iii eie iei
eii iei iii eie i@@

Expected result
---------------

The "Success rate per symbol" statistics shows the correct number and percentage of success even for the symbols that were omitted from the last symbol group.

Example (same as above):

Success rate per symbol:
percentage%-'symbol'-(copied correctly/keyed)
80%-'e'-(4/5)
90%-'i'-(9/10)

Obtained result
---------------

Symbols that were omitted in the last group also lose the count of all correctly copied occurrences.

Example (same as above):

Success rate per symbol:
percentage%-'symbol'-(copied correctly/keyed)
0%-'e'-(0/5)
0%-'i'-(0/10)

Discussion
----------

It's true that the instructions ask for '@' to be input for symbols that were missed (instead of omitting them if they are at the end of the group), but I don't think the user should be penalized for not complying. :-)
