They never used the Claxon on Super Password, except in RARE circumstances. I think the regular buzzer messed up, so they used the Claxon in it's place. It went off WAAAY after the clock hit 00. NBC foul up = contestant winning. In reality though, she was late, the clock hit 00 a full two seconds before she answered.
OK so going by what Bert said the rule must be that the contestant has until a second after 00 to finish--which would always be the case if they used a clock with tenths of a second on it. Normally, though, time expires when the clock HITS 00, not a second after. I LOVE this show--it is my favorite by a mile--but one has to admit, they made up the rules on the close calls as they went along. Way to stay out of court, NBC!

I probably would've used "Graceland" for Memphis.

no buzzer so it should count:

Depends on the ruling. If she was to say it before the buzzer...then she won it. If it went by the clock..no.

You're right because the clock said 00 and Farr gave the clue then.

I don't think hse should have won. The sixty seconds was up. The buzzer being late is a separate issue.

They did play the wrong win cue.

I think it' would have been funny if Bert had milkmed it only too say "you'll find out tomorrow what the result is"

When she said "Memphis", it took a full second to go to P. So when it hit double-zero, then they had to give it to her, imo.

It did hit double zeros but no buzzer or sound til way afterwards. They were right to give it to her!

If it's one second after the buzzer hits zero, she definitely got it.

She started the word "pastry" right before the buzzer, which was a full second late. They had to give it to her.

She got an extra second! She definitely said it before the buzzer, but the buzzer didn't go off until a second after the 60 seconds expired.

She said it before the dreaded and infamous NBC Claxon blared.

I would say YES. No buzzer sounded when it hit 00 and the buzzer clearly sounded after she said pastry.
gamshwfan 3 years ago

That Shanda contestant---didn't she also participate on Body Language with Tom Kennedy?

Right after she says "Pastry," you can faintly hear the NBC Claxon. I say she got it.

The music you hear at 1:43 is not the Bonus Round win cue, but the maingame win cue.
