Ken Jennings and literary wordplay trivia

[yendi]

I spent way too long running the latest quiz at the Ken Jennings blog through my head, until I finally realized that I'd made an assumption that I shouldn't have made. Once that became obvious, so did the answer.

(Not posting the spoiler here, but I'm assuming that comments might eventually give it away, or at least provide some hints, so you've been warned).

I totally understand the assumption you made, and if you hadn't said that you'd made a false assumption at first, I'm sure I would have made it, too. Tricky Ken. :)

Umm ... there's a trick? I got it in seconds without using any trick I know of.

Gack. That one took me a while.

I know what assumption I'm supposed to make...and now, having ignored it, I still haven't got the answer.

Found the answer on his message boards. It's not one I'm familar with, so I don't feel bad I didn't get it.

Peace.
