yeah, i guess after more reading you def do if you want to be technically correct, but idk, i'm not gonna do it. given i will probably never be on the show, i don't care about adding this level of intricacy of having to record 3 answers instead of 2, and having to decide if i'm 'declaring' an answer or not. i'd rather just be able to guess and not stress about it. it probably evens out in the end anyway. coryat is so unscientific in so many ways, that i'm not going to worry about this one facet. i don't care too much what other people are doing, happy to just see how my own scores progress.
anyway, my spreadsheet is here:

click 'to download' then click the little down arrow on the right
type in the category names as the round starts, then enter 1 and 0 in the cells for correct/incorrect. it'll auto sum up and it will also turn green/red so you get a nice graphical representation.
rbk - i don't have a mac but there's 'numbers' which does the same as excel, openoffice also i believe. don't know if the conditional formatting will work but the rest should.
here's a pic:
