Preliminaries: IU/Duke/MIT
February 6

Fifteen undergrads. Fifteen schools. In the end, there can only be but one. On the line in this fortnight of intellectual fortitude, $100,000... bragging rights as the 2012 College Champion... and a place in the 2012 Tournament of Champions.

Second place is guaranteed $50,000, while third will get $25,000 in a standard two-week event. Semifinalists are guaranteed at least $10,000, while quarterfinalists are guaranteed $5000 for participation. As always, any and all winning accrued depends on how far up the ladder a player goes.

Only nine of the fifteen that compete week one will be invited to return in week two, however, the five winners this week and four wild card top-scorers.

Today, we start building your final nine with three winners, two wild cards, and at least one of these three...

Daily Double: $800 Stringing Along. Sarah has $3400 to Greer's $1800, but Marie is out in front with $6000. Sarah goes for $2000 on this: the national day for this item is celebrated on June 6, the birthday of Donald Duncan. "What is the yo-yo?" That's right, but Sarah has a "string cheese" incident that costs her, dropping to $1400

Daily Double #2: $1200 Famous Pairs. Greer finds it with $9800 to $11,700 for Marie. He decides to go for it with $3000 on this: title Trojan lovers in a Shakespeare play. "Who are Croilus & Cressina?" CLOSE. It was "Troilus & Cressida", dropping the Dukie to $6800.

Final Jeopardy! category: COLONIAL HISTORY

 

A 1763 LETTER SAID THAT THESE 2 MEN WERE EQUIPPED WITH "INSTRUMENTS... TO LOOK AT THE POSTS IN THE LINE FOR TEN OR TWELVE MILES"

 

Correct response: who were Mason & Dixon?

Greer's response: who are Mason & Dixon? CORRECT. Wager: $7600. Total: $18,000.
Sarah's response: who are Lewis & Clark? WRONG. Wager: $3600. Total: $8800.
Marie's response: who were Lewis & Clark? WRONG. Wager: $2000. Total: $10,900.

Semifinalist: Greer Mackebee

Let me preface this with the disclaimer that, as a fan and alumnus of the University of North Carolina, it's hard for me to remain partial about anything related to that school in Durham. That said, and I'm being very impartial with this, Greer is up against some formidable opponents, many of whom played last week. He'll have to play as hard if not harder than them in order to stand a chance at getting a final spot.

Elsewhere in the bracket, congrats go to the Friday players, as all three will return to finish the week off. Tomorrow, we have your final nine.
