Preliminaries: Anderson/Ellis/Vazquez
January 30

It's perhaps the hardest part-time job that any teenager could have... but at the same time, it's the most lucrative. Instead of enough for a used car and some gas to put in it, we're talking $75,000.

Teenagers from across the country have tried out by the boatload by taking "The Test" online at Jeopardy.com. Now the best 15 of them have come together at the Sony stages in Los Angeles to compete for $75,000 and the right to be called this season's Teen Champion. Second place gets $25,000. Third gets $15,000. Semifinalists who make it to week 2 will receive $10,000. All of this week's players will receive $5000 and the all new edition of Classroom Jeopardy! for their schools. All money will be determined, as always, by how far the players go in the tournament.

This is a standard two-week affair, meaning that all 15 will play this week, with the five game winners joining the four highest-scoring non-winners in a win-or-go-home race to the two-day final.

But first, we start with game 1..

Daily Double #2: $1200 Electricity. Kelton is rallying back with $15,300. He bets $3000 on this: Canada's power is 60% this source, like the water going over Churchill Falls. "What is hydroelectric?" CORRECT for $9300!
