No. Because if you knew the name of what the answer was famous for, you should've easily gotten the name of the person. That is what I did.The Sybian wrote:

However, since I am the only correct respondent, and upon further reflection, I am going to ding myself for misspelling.

Re: Final Jeopardy! Challenge September 2015
HNIC, I got it right. I think the rule for spelling is if it has the correct number of syllables and isn't completely ridiculous, you're fine.

Re: Final Jeopardy! Challenge September 2015
sorry, I miscounted and missed that you got it right. I really don't know if they would've allowed my answer or not. (I omitted one letter.) In any event, it is not important.
