Heliotrope is the right answer, so you'd be fine.

Terry didn't notice that hesperidium has 11 letters. He's like the guy in the express checkout lane in Cambridge with one too many items. You probably know the punchline, but I'll post it for the rest of the Bored. The cashier asks him, "You go to Harvard and can't count, or M.I.T. and can't read?"

This proves a theory I've had for a while. Although the predetermined 50:50 usually leaves the most tantalizing wrong answer as during the ABC days, prior to about $10,000, the 50:50 tends to give the player a gift instead.
