Anyway...I'm not watching these days because I can't stand Bialik.
No, the measurement is to either of the two points, but the clue is asking for both.


Here's the video: https://youtu.be/cgpeHKNVPXc?t=769

I don't have any problem with the timing of her "no". She gives it enough time that it's clear he is done speaking and isn't just struggling to think of the second thing. If she waited longer or gave some indication that his answer was incomplete, that would be unfair to the other contestants, especially for a $2000 question.
