Several protests were accepted on this round. (These answers are
shown in parentheses.) Even so, it was still the hardest round in
the original game and the fourth-hardest of the entire season.

I know very little about this subject myself -- if I ruled you
wrong and you think you were right, please say so and I'll check
out the protest.

This drink came up on "Jeopardy!" on 2022-11-17, during the Tournament
of Champions. They named the 5 alcoholic ingredients and asked what
the drink was, mentioning New York by way of a hint.

A puzzle in a recent issue of "Games World of Puzzles" magazine
included the clue "Grandmaster of hard-boiled detective fiction:
2 wds." The answer was 15 letters long, and I correctly guessed that
it would be one of these two authors. And I was surprised to then
realize that if my guess was correct, then I could already fill in
*three* of the 15 letters.

"Much" of the exhibit collection was relocated to Pigeon Forge TN,
but the name of the museum there is the Alcatraz East Crime Museum.
I decided to score Pigeon Forge as almost correct.
