They stated:

I have a list of dictionaries.  They all have the same keys.  I want to find the
set of keys where all the dictionaries have the same values.  Suggestions?

No, to me it meant to find similar values in several dicts with the
same key, and value. So I created several dicts, and some with the
same key and value, and showed the matches.

The OP can comment as to whether that is the correct interpretation of
the situation.

I am. I just write out the algorithm as I understand the OP to want
it, to give my version of the example.
