Aside from the specific range issue, I just want to say thanks very much for brining this up, as it made me take a closer look at the single cell server. This really is a great way to introduce students to Sage. The fact that you can provide a simple URL without having to worry about managing accounts in any way opens up lots of possibilities for easily providing examples to students and for having them share their ideas. It's very simple, just one cell. But even in just one cell, you can still do a lot.
