These are the Official Answers
for the 2022 Fall Almaniac.

We posted them here on Wednesday, December 14.

In addition, earlier in the week we mailed answer books to all competitors. The answers and explanations in the answer books are those printed below.

The answer books also include the procedure for filing a protest (objection) regarding any answer.

When scoring is done, we'll post protest results here and we'll print and mail to everybody a complete set of results.

December 26 update:

Protest results:

Q9: We scored 2 (b) correct as well as 3 (c).
Flat Rock is not itself the attraction; it’s where the attraction, the Carl Sandburg Home, is located.

Q20: We scored no (b) correct as well as yes (a).
The last two of Q20’s three sets specifically refer to titles; the first set does not do so
and may be considered to be referring to the lyrics of Indiana’s state song (which are not given in the World Almanac), not to its title.

Q68: We scored Cleveland (c) correct as well as Rochester (a).
Although Rochester, New York, is smaller by population than Cleveland, Ohio, both Cleveland, Mississippi (p. 636: 10,846),
and Cleveland, Tennessee (p. 643: 45,948), are smaller than Rochester.

Q70: We scored 1 (a) correct as well as 2 (b).
The footnote on p. 679 for Prime Ministers implies that, when Portland and Shelburne were Prime Ministers in the 18th Century,
their nation was Great Britain only, not yet the United Kingdom [of Great Britain and Ireland; 1801 Act of Union, p. 678 footnote].

We are preparing the final results books for the printer and will mail them to all entrants in about ten days.
