The most popular quiz show on television is Jeopardy!, where the most quick-witted and knowledgeable contestants respond to hints that confound most home viewers.<\/p>\n

However, one seemingly simple clue regarding the Lord\u2019s Prayer baffled all three contestants in a recent episode, much to the surprise of several Christian fans.<\/p>\n

The $200 clue\u2014the smallest and often easiest amount on the board\u2014was read during the June 13 program by host Mayim Bialik in the category \u201cDadjectives.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cMatthew 6:9 says, \u2018Our Father Which Art In Heaven\u2019, This \u2018Be Thy Name.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Anyone who remembers learning the Lord\u2019s Prayer in Sunday school will be familiar with the answer, which is \u201challowed\u201d (or rather, \u201cwhat is hallowed,\u201d per Jeopardy! regulations).<\/p>\n

Even answers that seem simple on Jeopardy! sometimes confound participants, but the fact that no one understood one of the most popular prayers in Christianity seems to have touched a nerve among the faithful.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cNot one contestant on Jeopardy last night knew the answer to this\u2026Are you waking up yet?\u201d one Twitter user wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Lord\u2019s Prayer growing up was like knowing The Pledge of Allegiance. You just did,\u201d one tweet says.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile it may not be a sign of the end times, if DEFINITELY speaks volumes about Americans and their faith\u2026or lack of,\u201d another wrote.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Some viewers interpreted it as a sign of waning confidence in the US, while others were simply surprised they failed to recognize a fairly obvious indication.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m an atheist and even I knew the answer to that lord\u2019s prayer question,\u201d one Twitter user said.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy 4 year old niece got the answer on this Question on Jeopardy! Just wondering maybe the contestants never heard about The Lord\u2019s Prayer?\u201d another wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cHow can those Jeopardy! nerds not know this answer. Have they never listened to Iron Maiden?\u201d another user joked, referencing the Iron Maiden song \u201cHallowed Be Thy Name.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Some observers were astonished to find that every competitor was baffled by an apparently simple question, but others showed greater composure. Due of their low scores, two of the competitors may have chosen to play it safe rather than risk falling farther behind.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also important to note that Jeopardy! routinely asks questions on Christianity and the Bible, and participants frequently get answers right to problems that even ardent churchgoers would find difficult. In fact, it\u2019s such a typical area that some have complained that the show features too many Christian-related inquiries.<\/p>\n

Additionally, Jeopardy! accepts contestants from diverse backgrounds and religious beliefs; it is very likely that these three contestants did not grow up in the same Christian environment as many viewers.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Final Jeopardy answer was, \u201cHe starred in the 2 films whose soundtracks were the top 2 bestselling albums of 1978.\u201d Despite the fact that the competitors were baffled by the Lord\u2019s Prayer, they did a little better when it came to \u201970s movies.<\/p>\n

The appropriate answer? Travolta, John (The soundtracks included Grease and Saturday Night Fever). Suresh Krishnan, who was competing, won, extending his winning streak to six games.<\/p>\n
