It is a little ironic that game shows are being denigrated as reliable sources when we have no reliable citation that this question ever appeared on a quiz show. Given that they are in the business of giving away large sums of money based on answers to questions, they do have researchers that develop the questions and they are more public than any peer-reviewed scientific study could ever hope to be, I do have some confidence in the questions and answers on such shows. I also have seen cases where contestants have appealed incorrect answers and been allowed to return on some shows. I don't think it is in any way equivalent to drawing conclusions about real life based on fictional programs like CSI.
