It's rare that game shows get away with not forking out at least some cash, but that's what happened on Jeopardy! when the final clue bamboozled gambling contestants.
The popular US programme has been on the air since the 1960s and sees contestants answer questions based on a range of subjects, like history, current affairs, art, and literature.
But on Monday the show's three contestants were not so lucky, or capable, as they bet a total of $33,600 only to lose out on a question involving school segregation.
The offending clue was: "A 1957 event led to the creation of a national historic site in this city, signed into law by a president whose library is now there too."

Independence, MIssouri is my guess
That was a tough question unless you’ve visited the town.
Little Rock. Dumbasses.
And I was wrong
NO, the correct response was:
"What is Little Rock, Arkansas?
:-) Just going by the rules.
Has Slick even visited it? I don’t think he’s been back to Arkansas since he made the big show and left the Arkansas Mafia to rot in prison or moulder in the grave.
Shame too, the middle lady seemed smart and home-schools her two daughters. I was rooting for her. But it was a close game.
We watch Jeopardy every night during dinner and I always win. Even kept score once to prove it. Nyah nyah :-)
That was an easy one.

Doesn't that depend on what the meaning of "is" is?
I remember it very clearly. Used a couple of words from the events in sentences in the 6th grade that year. The old bird on the right should have been around back then, too.
Anyone remember the name of the school? The governor? I mean w/o looking it up.
That is the name of their semi-pro football team.
Have you all noticed how many poofters are on that show?
A few nights ago, a man dressed as a woman was on, pretending to be a woman. I nailed it. Ava I believe was the person’s name. Turtle-neck sweater (no doubt to hide the adam’s apple), deep voice, and when standing next to the other contestants at the end, it was so obvious that was the body of a man.
But to each his own. I don’t care. Just seems like that show has a lot of weirdos on it.
Now that’s funny. I think they were beaten out that year by the New Orleans Nitwits.
What is Little Rock Arkansas?
Fantastic Presidential Library! Highly recommended!
Only girls work there. They are hot and easy.
Really it was not that hard
Egads, Clintonisms haunt us to this day...
Let me guess that Alek knew?
