(Ken: Amy, before you select, we're trying out something a little bit new in Jeopardy! Masters. For the first time in the almost 60-year history of Jeopardy!, we're going to reveal in advance where the Daily Doubles are located, but only for you, the viewers at home. Here in the studio and, of course, for our contestants, they will remain concealed. And if you at home would prefer not to know, you can always look away. Let's find out where the Daily Double will be in this first round. [Beep boop] All right, there it is. We'll hide it again. It's safe to look.)
