Preliminaries: GTown/NWU/GA Tech It's that time of the year again, when many a college senior is ready to take on the world. Today, and every day for the next two weeks, 15 college students are going to take each other on for $100,000 and a possible $250,000 seat in the next Tournament of Champions in Jeopardy's Spring Classic, the College Championship. What challenges await the brightest collegians in the country? How will they rise to meet them? The answers to these questions could be worth $100,000 for the winner, $50,000 for the first runner-up, and $25,000 for the second runner-up. Semifinalists are guaranteed $10,000, while everyone who competes gets $5000. Any and all prizes depend on how far up a player moved in the standings. Hannah Shoenhard gets the first seat in the semifinals. Who will join her?
Jeopardy! round...
For category #5, you need to identify the sport. Daily Double: $600 Emerson. Daniel is out in front with $3200... and he's GOING FOR IT! For $6400...Emerson helped start this literary movement in New England with his 1836 work "Nature". "What is transcendentalism?" FOR THE DOUBLER, $6400! At the end of Jeopardy!...
Double Jeopardy! round...
Daily Double #1: $1600 Physiology. Daniel has $8000 and the lead still over Jim's $4400. He fronts $3000 on this: this tube that splits into 2 bronchi widens & lengthens slightly with each breath taken in. "What is the trachea?" RIGHT for $11,000! Daily Double #2: $1200 US Volcanoes. Kristen moves into second with $11,400 to Daniel's $13,400. She bets the difference on this: it's on the southeastern flank of Mauna Loa, & its name means "spewing" in Hawaiian. "What is Mauna Kea?" No, it was Kilauea, leaving her with $9400. At the end of Double Jeopardy!...
Final Jeopardy! category: CHARACTERS IN SHAKESPEARE
Correct response: who is Prince
Prospero?
It was Daniel's to lose today... and he lost it. Expect him back with a score of $14,000, and don't be surprised if he finds a way to the final with him playing on stroke like that. As for Jim, he's gonna have to keep the last-minute heroics going if he wants that seat. So we have two. We'll get #3 tomorrow.
