(Alex: [Pronounces category like "OPES"] This last category is one we manage to include on our Jeopardy! programs once each season. We don't like to have it on more than once because it is an admission of error on our part. These are mistakes we have made and that our viewers have caught us on and written us about. And so we are, uh, only too happy to acknowledge the fault publicly.)
