Monday's episode of Jeopardy! came down to a question about Little Rock — and no one knew the answer.

With two players tied for the lead with $13,800 and a third with $6,000 earned earlier in the game, host Alex Trebek read this final Jeopardy! question under the category of State Capitals:

"A 1957 event led to the creation of a Natl. Historic Site in this city, signed into law by a pres. whose library is now there too."

The clue refers, of course, to the 1957 desegregation of Central High School and a certain former president whose library now sits on the Arkansas River in downtown Little Rock.

"The president in question in the clue is Bill Clinton," Trebek told the contestants after it was revealed each was wrong. "The correct response is Little Rock, Arkansas."

Trebek acknowledged the clue had been a "tough one." Austin and Atlanta were guessed by two players; the third had started to write Springfield.

But what's more, each one wagered everything he had. So the game ended without a winner, and all three tied with $0.
