Who are you and where did you find the Shift key?
If you still remember something from recently looking it up, before
seeing a question about it in QFTCI, then you are welcome to use it
in QFTCI, just as you would be if you'd just seen it on Jeopardy!.
It doesn't matter how recently you learned something, only that you
know it.
