I would still like to hear from Bob on what the author of the quiz was baseing his information on.

Bob, where are you?
I'm just watching. I don't know *why* the answer was given that way. I think it's one of two things:

1) The given answer was wrong (i.e., the error was correctable and A(?) wins the game).

2) You can't correct an error after the game is "over."

I'm looking for support for #2 -- but I haven't fouond much.
