Is This the Most Awkward Jeopardy Response Ever?

Alex Trebek's clipped "no" kind of said it all, but to be fair, the "common law" part of the question was a bit confusing. The correct answer was "puberty," which is funny since we bet Tom would have rather gone back in time to go through that awful stage in his life again than be on that Jeopardy stage after giving that awkward answer.

#Jeopardy lit up Twitter's trending topics after Tom's moment in the spotlight, mostly with people hoping that he made an honest mistake and doesn't actually think the age of consent is 14 in boys and 12 in girls.

On an unrelated note, Tom kind of looks like Walter White. So we like to think of this episode of Jeopardy as what Walt would have done to make money on Breaking Bad had he not gone in the meth-making business.
