8:32 am

MollyL

Question for Jeopardy watchers...why are people all bent that contestants were deemed incorrect when giving the answer Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn but not pronouncing it right? The rules of Jeopardy have always been that you have to pronounce the answer correctly.

8:33 am

MollyL

As in, if the answer is zoology and you say zoo-ologee insted of zoh-ologee, you do not get the points.

8:42 am

EvaNadine

my dad used to work for the Air + Space museum and watched Jeopardy religiously.
he once got INFURATED because the response they were looking for was "Smithsonian Institution" and the person said "Smithsonian Institute" and they gave them credit for it.

8:51 am

MollyL

Good for your Dad. He should have been mad. Smithsonian Institute is an incorrect answer.
