| Westminster Schools freshman Nilai Sarda on 3rd on JEOPARDY |
Leonard Cooper, a senior at eStem High PublicCharter School in Little Rock, Ark., won the tournament episode that was airedTuesday night. Barrett Block, a senior at Henry Clay High School in Lexington,Ky., placed second.
“I was just amazed I was able to make it on,” Sarda,who at 13 years old was the youngest contestant in the tournament, was quotedas saying in a press release from the quiz show. “I thought that because I was13 they’d probably take someone older who had tried out before instead.”
Sarda missed the tryout for “JEOPARDY!’s” KidsWeek last year and took the online qualification test for the Teen Tournamentfor the first time this year, his first year of eligibility. He hoped hisrelative youth would be an advantage over his competitors and relied on hisknowledge of the show to succeed.
“I watched the show a lot and looked at thearchives,” Sarda said in the press release. “I was bouncing around the board,trying to find the Daily Doubles.”
Sarda plans to pursue a career in science and isalready scouting universities like MIT, Cal Tech or Stanford. His “JEOPARDY!”prize money will help him attend an out-of-state, private university.
“I’m probably going to save some of the moneyfor college, or maybe invest it,” Sarda said.
