Preliminaries: W&M/Stanford/UNT
February 7

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.

At the end of today's game, we'll have your final nine.

Daily Double #1: $1200 Mathematics. Matt comes out of the round firing with $10,800. He bets $7000 on this: on the left is the decimal equivalent of 3/5. On the right is the decimal equivalent of this fraction. "What is 2/3?" Correct for $17,800!

Daily Double #2: $2000 A Novel Description. Matt is out to a commanding lead with $26,200. He fronts $4000 on this: workin' on the Transcontinental Railroad; Galt-ernate reality; from the Rand Non-corporation. "What is 'Atlas Shrugged'?" Correct for $30,200!

The game itself is Matt's to lose. The bubble score: $11,500, so neither Zach nor Monica are out of it yet, BUT they're going to have to go all-in.

Final Jeopardy! category: MEDICAL DISCOVERIES

 

NICOLAS PAULESCU ISOLATED A SUBSTANCE HE CALLED PANCREIN, NOW KNOWN AS THIS

 

Correct response: what is insulin?

Zach's response: what is insulin? CORRECT. Wager: $5800. Total: $11,600.
Monica's response: what is insulin? CORRECT. Wager: $7799. Total: $15,599.
Matt's response: what is insulin? CORRECT. Wager doesn't matter.

Semifinalist: Matt Olson

Matt completely owned this game from start to finish. If he gets it done next week, I would not be surprised if he goes deep in the Tournament of Champions field. Matt has just put the entire world on notice.

Meanwhile, today's runners-up fought for the last spot, doing what they have to do in order to survive... and Monica just knocked Zach out. She'll come back along with...
