Preliminaries: Horn/Lambert/Luttman
February 12

They're not old enough to drink, but they're surely old enough to think. Fifteen of the best and brightest high-schoolers have descended upon the Jeopardy! stage to show the world who's got the best mental game. And in the end, one of them will outlast the others for $75,000 and the title of 2008 Jeopardy! Teen Champion, not to mention the bragging rights that go with the title.

This Winter Classic is another standard two-week affair, advancing the winners of this week's games as well as four wild-cards, high scorers among non-winners. All of this week's players will receive $2500, while the semifinalists will be guaranteed $5000 for their participation.

The first runner-up receives $25,000 at least, while the second runner-up wins at least $15,000. As always, any and all winnings accrued depends on how far up the ladder a player goes.

So far, Zia Choudhury is the only one guaranteed to return next week, and for our money, the favorite to take it all. Who'll join him today?

Daily Double: $800 Word Origins. Melissa has $600 to Rachel's $400. Janelle still on the donut. Melissa decides to make it true, rather than bet the max. The clue: the name of this type of reference work is from the Greek for "cyclical" (i.e., well-rounded) & "education". "What is an encyclopedia?" Correct for $1200!

At the end of the Jeopardy! round...

Double Jeopardy! categories:

Daily Double #1: $1600 Firsts. Rachel finds this one first with $15,000 against Janelle's $4000 and Melissa's $5600. She bets $2000 on this: the first meeting of this international assembly convened November 5, 1920. "What is the United Nations?" Too late. It's the League of Nations, leaving her with $13,000.

Daily Double #2: $1600 Lasts. Rachel finds this one last with $20,200 against Janelle's $4000 and Melissa's $8800. She bets $4000 on this: the Battle of Castillon in 1453 was the last battle of this war that began back in 1337. "What is the Hundred Years' War?" Right for $24,200!

At the end of the Double Jeopardy! Round...

Rachel's got this one in the pocket.

Final Jeopardy! category: CHARACTERS IN BOOKS

Correct response: who is Ebenezer Scrooge?

Janelle's response: who is Scrooge? RIGHT. Wager: $5600. Total: $11,200
Melissa's response: who is Scrooge? RIGHT. Wager: $9200. Total: $18,400.
Rachel's response: who is Scrooge? RIGHT. Wager doesn't matter.

SEMI-FINALIST: Rachel Horn.

Not the shellacking of yesterday's show, but Rachel has emerged as a contender as well. And don't count out Melissa or Janelle, as they were playing well for wild cards.

Third quarterfinal tomorrow.
