The Amphicar 770 of the 1960s, for example, kind of worked as a car and kind of worked as a boat but wasn’t particularly good in either of those roles.

Alex Trebek looks at you and then carefully reads the card: “While one of them rests on a ladder frame, the other has unibody construction” and then he looks up.
