Preliminaries: Penn/Notre Dame/UCLA
November 8

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 2011 College Champion... and a place in the 2011 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 this week will be invited to return next week, however, the five winners this week and four wild card top-scorers.

Grab your ballpoint pens and your comp books, because it's time to go to school.

Daily Double #1: $1600 It's Elemental, My Dear. And just when you've counted her out, here comes Olivia with $6800 to the guys' $7800 a piece. She bets $3200 on this: your daily diet should include ample amounts of this element, kalium in Latin. "What is potassium?" CORRECT for $10,000!

Daily Double #2: $1200 From the Greek. Sid retakes the lead with $15,800 over $14,200 for Steve and $10,000 for Olivia. He wagers $4200, trying to build that bank up, on this: 4 horsemen could tell you this word is from the Greek for "revelation". "What is apocalypse?" CORRECT for $20,000!

Final Jeopardy! category: AMERICAN BUSINESS

 

THE MAILING ADDRESS FOR THIS COMPANY IS P.O. BOX 57, PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA 15230

 

Correct response: what is Heinz?

Olivia's response: what is Heinz? CORRECT. Wager: $6200. Total: $15,000.
Steve's response: what is Heinz? CORRECT. Wager: $5800. Total: $20,000.
Sid's response: what is Heinz? CORRECT. Wager doesn't matter.

SEMI-FINALIST: Sid Chandrasekhar

If you are a big football fan or just like hitting the sauce at the local steakhouse, this was a walk. Sid wasn't about to miss this final, especially being from Pennsylvania. Even if he did, though, Sid was leading for most of the game. Could he emerge as an early favorite? Only if he keeps the pace up. And don't discount the other two, even with the big risk that Olivia took in betting so much in the final. Remember, the point of this week is to get to next week.

Who'll join Sid? Stay thirsty, my friends...
