View Full Version : Today's Final Jeopardy

Some of you may recall the Carnegie-Mellon student who wagered $1337 in final jeopardy, and see the obvious significance. Today he had the match equally well in hand and he wagered $1041.

What's the significance? I don't see that it spells anything. In upside-down speak of course it spells "lhol" but that is equally cryptic. It seems unlikely he wagered a random amount because of his choice last time.

Anyone have any idea what this means?

the first number he thought of?

what was with the chick from WVU? she was way too intense and, frankly, pretty scary.

Actually, 1041 spells "loal", which is "lol" spelled phonetically.

I kind of buy this, but if he really wanted to do "lol" why didn't he just wager one hundred one?
