Oh man I remember seeing that live
I still think hoe was the correct answer and 90% of people would come up with it
(Yes they accepted it)
I saw it live, and at the time, didn’t know who Ken Jennings was (I only watched Jeopardy randomly). Didn’t know they gave him the point, though. Cause yeah, that’s the first answer I thought of, too.
I’ll never forget watching live the final jeopardy question where he lost is streak
It was a question about what company’s seasonal employees end in April. He put FedEx and the answer was H&R Block (taxes)

What kind of modern government still has mobility with ridiculous and overblown titles?
Says the computer.
