Anyone see Jeopardy this evening?

Posted By: barrysloate

What the contestants didn't know, and Alex mentioned it afterwards, was that Johnson threw the silver dollar 317 feet to get it across the river. You might be able to throw a cannonball about 12 feet, give or take. Those things are pretty heavy.

Is it my imagination, or is there a well known photo of Johnson holding that silver dollar?

There was also a clue built into the question. Everyone knows that Washington threw that silver dollar across the Delaware, and the date of Feb 22, 1936 was Washington's birthday!
