That happened a while ago, I remember it. Alex Trebek had no idea what it meant. Also, I'm from CMU and my roommate literally stalked the guy. He ended up coming over to my apartment to watch the finale, where he wins the whole thing, and the news crews were there. Weird, I had completely forgotten about that whole chapter of my life.

It was a clever gesture, perhaps one that only could have been outdone if he had wagered $1132, which would have left him a final score of $31,337.

That would have been too complicated for the masses.

Ken Jennings did that.

According to a comment below, Kermin won the game tonight by wagering $1041. 1041, when converted from hexadecimal to decimal equals "411." 411 is a synonym for "information." Thanks for catching it, Max. I believe this pushes him into next week's finals.

He's kinda hot

Oh man this Carnegie Mellon kid is kicking ass.

It's all repeats right now, the next season will start with a guy that's won 14 consecutive times so far...
