ANSWER 1

Score 27

I have found out that Alt Gr+- gives \.

ANSWER 2

Score 20

Press the alt key to the right of the space bar (alt gr), and the key above the enter key (which should typically be hash on a US keyboard set to UK input - but on your laptop it is actually the \ key!). This should provide a backslash!

altGR+#( \ )key

ANSWER 3

If you do not have Alt GR in your keyboard, simply press and hold left ALT then type 92.

ANSWER 4

Score 4

You can find a full list of ALT codes here.

Or try Alt+Shift+:

On the German keyboard backslash is Alt+Shift+7
