Preliminaries: Huang/Koolik/Nrusimha
July 24
Last April, 15 of America's best and brightest teenagers descended upon Sony Pictures Studios in LA. But they weren't there to see a concert featuring the newest summer jam... They were there to play Jeopardy! for big money and bigger bragging rights. At stake, $75,000 and the title of 2014 Jeopardy! Teen Champion.

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.

We have three semifinalists ready to go. By the end of this half-hour, we will have six.

Daily Double #2: $1600 The Genius Bar. Ananya has the lead, still by $100, $8900 to $8800 for Alan. She bets $600 on this: she is still the only woman to win Nobel Prizes in 2 different fields, which she did back in 1903 & 1911. "Who is Marie Curie?" Right for $9500!

Final Jeopardy! category: NOVEL WORDS

 

THIS WORD FOR A PERSON WITHOUT CERTAIN ABILITIES HAS MADE IT FROM THE REALM OF FANTASY TO THE OED

  

Correct response: what is a muggle?

Kevin's response: what is a muggle? RIGHT. Wager: $3400. Total: $6800.
Ananya's response: what is powerless? WRONG. Wager: $8699. Total: $6801.
Alan's response: what is a muggle? RIGHT. Wager doesn't matter.

SEMIFINALIST: Alan Koolik

It was see-saw between Alan and Ananya all game long, but the Final decided it as Alan emerges as one to watch next week. Meanwhile, we can now safely lock in Kat Deabill (from Monday) and Jeff Xie (from Tuesday) for next week as well. All Kevin and Ananya can do now is watch and wait.

We will have your final nine tomorrow.
