Quarterfinals: Firke/Hinchen/Schenkel -
February 8
Fifteen of the brightest teenagers from all
across the country have descended upon Los Angeles to compete in the Jeopardy!
Teen Tournament, where one will walk away with $75,000 cash money and the mantle
of Teen Champion.
Another standard two-week affair awaits as the
first runner-up receives $25,000 at least, while the second runner-up wins at
least $15,000.
Semifinalists are guaranteed at least $5000,
while quarterfinalists are guaranteed $2500 for participation. As always, any
and all winning accrued depends on how far up the ladder a player goes.
So far, we have seven. At the end of this show,
we'll have nine. The final quarterfinal match...

Daily Double #1: $1600 The Good Earth. David, way
out in front with $17,900 to Heidi's $8800 and Caroline's $2600, wagers $3000 on
this: because it passes through a London borough, the Prime Meridian at 0
degrees longitude has this other name. "What is Greenwich Mean?" He should've
left it at Greenwich. But he still leads at $14,900.
Daily Double #2: $1600 States of the Union. At $11,600 to David's $14,900, Heidi
can overtake the lead. Caroline only has $3000. Heidi bets $3300 to tie. The
clue: 13-year-old Benny Benson's winning design for this state's flag included
the Big Dipper. "What is Alaska?" Right for $14,900!

semi-finalist: HEIDI FOGLE
Mr. A says: It looked like David could've taken this one, but he was a mite too
careful in his betting in the Final, allowing Heidi to take the final automatic
slot...
But don't feel too bad for him. He's also coming
back next week. Let's see who'll join these two...
