Preliminaries: Bowdoin/Stanford/APU
May 9

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.

Tonight, we'll have two Wild Cards figured out. But first...

Cindy Cammarn

Bill Driscoll

senior, Stanford
Jack Houston

Two clues later...

Daily Double #2: $1200 We Have a New State Capital. Bill now has $1200, betting $2000 on this: replacing Wheeling. "What is Montpelier?" No, it was Charleston, WV, dropping him to -$800.

Final Jeopardy! category: THE CONTINENTS

 

IT'S THE CONTINENT THAT'S HOME TO THE MOST UN MEMBER COUNTRIES, INCLUDING A NEW ONE ADDED IN 2011

 

Correct response: what is Africa?

Jack's response: what is Africa? CORRECT. Wager: $4000. Total: $8400.
Bill's response: what is Europe? WRONG. Wager: $8799. Total: $1.
Cindy's response: what is Europe? WRONG. Wager: $2500. Total: $12,700.

Semifinalist: Cindy Cammarn

Bill had the right strategy going into the game, he just didn't have all the right responses. Cindy did and she kept delivering them. That's why she's coming back next week. Also coming back: Kristen Jolley from Georgia Tech ($19,000) and Julia Sprangers from Wisconsin ($16,400). The score to beat tomorrow: $14,000.

... can anyone do it? We'll name your final nine tomorrow.
