They have accepted responses of the "at least..." form on the grounds that the category wasn't clear, yes. Though that's not exactly what you're asking...

See the $600 clue in 2 Consonants, One Vowel here:

The second the FJ picture came up, I said, "Hey, that looks like a Dyson ball!" After hearing the clue, I said, "Huh, I guess it is!"

Too bad the Bangor homeboy couldn't pull it out, but a good game overall. :D

When Archimedes was young and he got a good idea he would yell out "Eureka!"

When he got older and he got a good idea, he would yell out "Electrolux! No, that's not it. Hoover! No, that's not it. Kirby! No, that's not it..."

I thought Dyson Ball vacuum cleaners were fairly ubiquitous and was surprised this wasn't a triple get, but the clue appears to have played pretty tough here as well.
