"Imagine there was only white keys on the piano, because all the white ones were broken."
This one is a Typo, it should have said Black keys are broken. Hope it havent distortet the meaning too much.
Another addition to the major/minor explanation: The only difference between the scales is the starting point also called the root. The notes are the same.
