<p>Whatever sparked the obsession, it's working for him. Menke, 21, from Flemington, N.J., blew away the competition in his quarterfinal, which aired May 5. He amassed $25,199, well over double the score of worthy competitors from Michigan State and the University of Virginia. He took four out of a possible five answers in three separate categories (High-tech Cinema, Geography and Latin), responded correctly on 32 of 36 clues and managed to ring in first on all three lucrative "daily double" clues.</p>

<p>"I found the third daily double, looked up to see what I should wager, and noticed that I had $27,000," Menke said. "At that point, I thought to myself, 'Wow, I'm going to the semifinals.' I didn't wager very much, and decided to play it safe after that."</p>

<p>Unfortunately Scott was done in by the Final Jeopardy question last night and will not move on to the finals later this week. $10,000 for playing a game ain’t bad. </p>
