Preliminaries: Brown/Kralle/Tallapragada
February 14

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 $5000, while the semifinalists will be guaranteed $10,000 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, Rachel Horn, and Katie Gill have been invited to compete next week. In 30 minutes, three more tickets... Maybe these three.

Hunter Brown Wheaton, IL senior	Becky Kralle Runnemede, NJ senior	Naren Tallapragada Burke, VA junior

On the cut today: Nick Philip from Monday ($10,000) and Janelle Lambert from Tuesday ($11,200). Jeopardy! round...

Daily Double: $1000 Vice Presidents. Naren, at $4600, is making quick work of the board with Becky at $800 and Hunter at $1200. He fronts $2000 on this: he was sworn in as vice president March 4, 1841 & as president April 6, 1841. "Who is John Tyler?" Correct for $6600 at the time out.

At the end of the Jeopardy! round...

Double Jeopardy! categories:

Daily Double #1: $1600 "Young". Naren was beating up on the board sadly with $21,000 to Becky's $5600 and Hunter's $8200. He bets $3000 on this: this 4-word "directional" phrase is widely attributed to Horace Greeley, but it's uncertain who coined it. "What is 'Go West, Young Man'?" Correct for $24,000.

Daily Double #2: $2000 Teens in History. Hunter with $10,200 can't catch Naren at $27,200, but he can come close with an all-in bet. Becky has $5600. He fronts $4000 on this: in 1771 this teenage marquis became a musketeer--good training for the American Revolution. "Who was the Marquis de Lafayette?" Correct for $14,200.

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

Final Jeopardy! category: AFRICAN AMERICANS

Correct response: who was Thurgood Marshall?

Becky's response: who was ? WRONG. Wager: $2500. Total: $5100
Hunter's response: who was Clarence Thomas Thurgood Marshall? RIGHT. Wager: $14,999. Total: $29,999.
Naren's response: who was Thurgood Marshall? RIGHT. Wager: $801. Total: $30,001.

SEMI-FINALIST: Naren Tallapragada.

Becky just did not want to play today. Hunter played on a rally monkey, while Naren used math skills to get to the top. Both will have to become more well-rounded players, Hunter more so, in order to last next week, because we'll be seeing them. Also joining us: Melissa Luttman from Tuesday's show.

Final quarterfinal tomorrow.
