Theories

1. AHL should be removed/replaced in judges' names.
2. Numbers 0-7 appear in second digit of score (implies sort). First implies index /wrt judges' answer.
3. Maybe anagrams involving names-AHL and answers.
   1. TEACH+D = DETACH
   2. TEACH+S = CHEATS/SACHET/CHASTE
   3. TEACH+KO = HOTCAKE
4. "misdirection" and "minor trickery" seem to indicate something magic related.
5. Anagrams:
   1. TEACH -> CHEAT
   3. MEDUSA -> AMUSED
   4. OPUS -> SOUP
6. Using the sorted by profession list, and applying the first digit as an index into the name, you get "ELLAMELA"
7. First letters of profession read: "CANE AS A C"
8. Synonyms of words. Maybe they have to be similar to the judge's name. Or the first number indicates number of letters.
   1. TEACH -> MENTOR
   2. BEEPBEEP -> HONK
   3. MEDUSA -> GORGON
   4. OPUS -> WORK
   5. QUEEN -> HRH
   8. ELEVENTH HOUR -> LAST MINUTE
9. Possible replacement rules for AHL.
   1. Have to use letters from corresponding answer.
   2. Have to use subsequence from corresponding answer.
   3. For KAHLO - KENO, KIMONO, KOKOMO, KILIMANJARO, KAZOO, KANGAROO
