The champion started the game by choosing “it’s not an exercise” for $ 400. The index indicated: “A tool with an inclined blade to bring unwanted plants out to the root is called CAPE COD type.” Fritz burst and said, “What is a hoe?” What was incorrect, dropping it at $ 400. The other two competitors did not buzzed. The correct answer was: “What is a weekend?”

After letting the silence fill the air, Ken Jennings said: “It seems that” what is a hoe? “is never correct here. The candidates and the public laughed.

Jennings spoke for the first time of a hoe during his reign in October 2004. In “Tool Time” for $ 200, the index was: “This term for a long -sleeved gardening tool can also mean an immoral pleasure researcher.”
