And for final jeopardy today your question is: horsies – are they pretty? Just write yes or no. Keep in mind, there is no wrong answer.

Behind the line

What it means

Our interpretation.

The quiz question is "horsies – are they pretty?", with a yes or no answer and the reassurance that no answer is wrong. The joke is the mock-serious final round giving gameshow gravity to a childlike question, so the stakes end up close to zero.
