Jeopardy! last night (discussion of one particular random question)

[aarondf]

This is about just one particular random question and shouldn't spoil watching the episode for anyone.

On Jeopardy! yesterday there was a question about the title of the first Harry Potter book, referring to it being translated into another language. TheDan answered "Harry Potter and the Sorceror's Stone" and was given credit. Although not

I actually hesitated on this and decided since it was only a $400 question, they probably were looking for the more common (in the US) title.

I assume they would have taken either answer. I believe the question asked for "this book," not "this title," and either "translation" is still a version of the same book.
