This needs some investigation. Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page. Specifically: Does the game accept "Agent Ninetynine"?

There is one clue in the game where the correct response will not be accepted. In "TV Twosomes" for $200:

NUMBER OF AGENT 86'S PARTNER ON TV'S *GET SMART*

...With the correct response being "What is AGENT 99?"

The reason this response isn't accepted is because 9 is used as a separator byte in the game, and as a result it gets parsed as a control character rather than being part of a player's response. As such, not even CPU opponents can get the money from this clue.
