Title: Match Game Question for the Savants
Post by: mmb5 on October 25, 2004, 09:27:26 AM

Inevitably when watching a football game involving the Baltimore Ravens, the question of Brian Billick on Match Game comes up.  Someone mentioned that he had to be the worst player in Match Game history.  I countered he would be one of the worst, since there were at least a few instances of a player going 0-fer on all of his or her three questions.

Then I thought of something else.  On the syndicated version, you would have played four questions, with a potential for going 0 for 24.  So, my question to your collectors of the esoteric and photographic knowledge of the arcane, has anybody done it?

Off the top of my head, I can tell you that two contestants during the last week of the second syndie season achieved the ultimate: They played both of their games to a zero-to-zero tie, which meant they had to play two tiebreakers (or, as McLean Stevenson referred to them when the game ended in a scoreless tie, two "dumboffs").
