'Jeopardy!' contestants slammed for 'Wizard of Oz' triple stumper
Briefly

In a recent episode of 'Jeopardy!', all three contestants were stumped by a final question regarding the fictional character Boq from 'The Wizard of Oz.' Contestants Mary Walheim, Alfred Wallace, and defending champion Bryce Wargin made incorrect guesses relating to Lilliputians, leading to a notable display of collective confusion. Host Ken Jennings revealed that the correct answer was 'Munchkin,' which surprised many viewers at home who easily identified the character. Despite the errors, Wargin retained a commendable total winnings of $70,199 after the round.
