I agree, but different people have different ideas on 'where I was' means, depending on how their site loads. The previous fight? or back to HN because you are bored with the whole thing? Sometimes I've wanted to step back one link within the same site, only to get dumped out to the previous site I visited because the whole thing was JS-driven. this is especially annoying with the endless scroll sites that are so popular these days.

You're playing a game in this case. Similar to scrolling to the right in a side-scroller. The game doesn't want to let you go back to the left - or in this case to re-answer the previous question.

However that doesn't mean that the back-button is broken. It behaves like it would behave on other websites as well - and actually doesn't register multiple guesses separately.

If you'd elaborate more clearly where this behaviour is broken - as generally it's not - I'd be happy to look into fixing it for your comfort...

I see this comment frequently. What browser/device does it work on? I'm on chrome on osx and my back button works fine.
