Jeopardy Champion Ken Jennings Q&A about IBM Watso...
Does anyone else think "hoe" is actually a valid answer there, though? It's hard to tell from Ken's facial expression whether he "purposefully answered incorrectly" or just found himself amused at the situation.

Hoe is not a valid answer because the other word you are looking for is "ho" which is a shortened form of "whore".
Rake, on the other hand, is a homonym.
