Engineering senior Siddharth Chandrasekhar just won his first round of the Jeopardy! College Championship. The episode aired at 7 p.m. and we just had to rush to our computer to let the whole world know that Penn is smarter than everyone else. Also, according to our favorite source, Wikipedia, the prize for the winner of College Jeopardy is $100,000. Yes, those are five zeros. Let’s hope he makes it to the end and treats us all to Chipotle or something.

Answer: “These people want Siddharth on their Quizzo team”.

Question: “Who are the UTB edz?” Blarney tomorrow. Siddharth…be there.

The Jeopardy College Championship starts airing at 7 pm on Monday, November 8th, and we’ve got one of our own in the running. Senior Siddharth Chandrasekhar will be representing Penn, and even though he told us that he can’t disclose any details about how things went, we found it telling that he only referred to the upcoming “episode” (singular). Here’s hoping that Siddharth takes it all the way and makes it past the first round. If he doesn’t, let’s hope he at least squeezes in a few SNL-Connery-style jabs at Alex Trebek while he’s there.
