The $400 clew:
With the name of a “Thin Man” woman this owner of a cat named Nick solved the murder of an art collector in “Claws for Alarm”.
Contestant David buzzed in and said, “What is Nora?”
Ken Jennings replied, “Can you be more specific?”
David: “What is Nora . . . Charles?”
Ken: “That’s right, yeah.”
Of course it’s right. If the guy had said anything else, it would be wrong. Very, very wrong.
