With Kate and Petruchio’s “moon and sun” back-and-forth in The Taming of the Shrew, I would’ve gotten hooked on this play and never come around to the right answer.
Tori is 1/2 in Final Jeopardy!, not 0/2.
I remember some years back when someone missed that title because they answered What is “A Midsummer’s Night’s Dream”
