    Game 6 is over and the winner is Homo sapiens superior STEPHEN PERRY.
    Hearty congratulations!


    ** Game 6, Round 9 - Miscellaneous - Cocktail Recipes

    We are in a pub, so we should know something about cocktails.
    In this round -- pun intended! -- you will be asked to identify some
    of the ingredients of some of the official cocktails as recognized
    by the International Bartenders Association. Answers may repeat.
    All correct answers will contain alcohol. And if any of your
    answers are whiskey, you need to be more specific.

    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.


    1. What liquor is used to make a Bramble?

    Gin. 4 for Stephen.

    2. What liquor is used to make a Mary Pickford?

    White rum. 4 for Stephen.

    Scotch. 4 for Stephen.

    6. The alcoholic ingredients of a Kamikaze are vodka and what
    liqueur?

    7. The two alcoholic ingredients of a Manhattan are red vermouth
    and what liquor?

    10. The recipe for Long Island ice tea contains 5 alcoholic
    ingredients, including, gin, tequila, vodka, rum, and... what
    liqueur?

    Triple sec (Cointreau). 4 for Joshua and Stephen.

    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.


    ** Game 6, Round 10 - Challenge Round - Crime and Punishment

    * A. History: It's All in the Family

    These two questions are about the Five Mafia Families of New York.

    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.
