Lloyd Sy tried out for “Jeopardy!” hoping to supplement his income as a doctoral student at the University of Virginia and so far, his plan is working beautifully.
Sy bagged his second win on the quiz show Wednesday, bringing his total earnings to $53,578.
The final “Jeopardy!” clue was this: Until a 1903 secession, this country’s contiguous territory spanned two continents. The correct response – by the show’s rules, phrased as a question – was “What is Colombia?” and Sy was the only contestant to guess correctly.
