Had Laura Mclain failed in giving the correct answer to win the Jeopardy! tie-breaker, the rules state that Alex Trebek must continue asking questions until either contestant breaks the tie by giving a correct answer.
Of course, that’d definitely be a rare sight to see as Jeopardy! has some smart cookies on the show.
Of course, even bright people can have a dumb moment every so often.
So now, we’ll have to wait for a moment where two tied contestants are so consistently wrong that Trebek is forced to close the show without declaring a winner.
