I'm sure many, myself included, have seen the clip already. "Things that Stick Out" was the answer. The receiver's apparent victory got waved off by the officials because she didn't say "out". [No chimes, the box didn't flip, and the clock kept running from :03 to :00, followed by the dreaded repeating buzzer.]
It's details like these that have made Pyramid the toughest game show to officiate.
And, as we've seen from this instance, the contestant was fortunate enough to recover from that wave-off to win $100,000 later in the same episode.
