<<2. Question at JCV asks about a Spanish
painter. Player buzzes in and says "Del Greco". The player
corrects him/herself when getting a strange look from the
moderator, but it doesn't last and the player gets a
-5.>>

This is reminiscent of yet another classic wrong
answer from the National Scholastics Championship, this
time on a bonus from 1998.

"For 10 points, name
the 'reptilian' artists who painted the following
works."

One team, which did not quite understand what the
lead-in was hinting at (i.e., one of the Teenage Mutant
Ninja Turtles), bewilderedly gave the response, "El
Gecko."
