Can you please elaborate? I don't think any of these references you keep making are that well-known.

Well, if you watched the episode just now, all should be obvious, but....
Back in the Usenet days, someone remembered an MG/HS episode where, during the Squares game, the symbols on the board started flashing on and off. Bauman goes to commercial, quipping, "We don't allow flashers on this show." When they come back, the panel has to improvise by holding their arms in the shape of X's and O's.
This is indeed the episode that aired tonight on Buzzr.
EDIT: And I see you caught on.
EDIT x 2 : Yeesh, the warbling bells in the Super Match segment. Not a good transfer, Buzzr.
Bryce L.:
Surprised they didn't do like the Davidson run of HS would do, and have printed cards with an X on one side and an O on the other, to hold up in cases like this.

Yeah, Brandon, how could you forget that thing that was posted to ATGS 20 years ago?
I am completely dumbstruck that on a stage full of large index cards and magic markers, this was the most elegant solution that anybody could think of.

Wasn't that just for the Florida episodes, or did they have one for the main studio eps. too?
I imagine they could've simply used the marquee for a makeshift tic-tac-toe grid, considering they already used a grid pattern for the MG portion.
ETA: Never mind. It was at least possible (taken from a different episode).
