Congratulations Partha! I will be watching next week. The photo does not indicate which one is you. Could someone shed some light on this? Good luck in winning the big money but most of all I hope you had fun competing.

Giants sportswriter/blogger Andrew Baggarly (author of the book, "A Band of Misfits - Tales of the 0120 San Francisco Giants," was just on Jeopardy for four days, winning three days in a row -- he was described as living in Palo Alto! I happened to tune in and think, gee that guy looks familiar - but I know him from seeing him on tv, not for living in Palo Alto - that info was new to me.

Partha is in the back row, furthest left, with glasses and wearing a royal blue polo shirt. In the yearbook in 5th grade, when asked what he wants to be when he grows up, he answered, "a university professor or an invester." Congratulations, Partha!

What time and channel does Jeopardy! air?

Congratulations Partha! I am proud of you. I am looking forward to watching you on Jeopardy starting tomorrow.

The show airs on Channel 7 at 7 pm..Partha is on Wed, Aug 1. Partha is in the back row, first one from the left.

Thanks for all the encouragement. The kids are an awesome bunch and you will have a blast watching the games.

Good job Partha! I am just curious why you are attending a public school 20 miles from your home. Looks like you had lots of fun on the show!

Just read that Partha attends Crystal Springs so that explains the train ride. I was under the impression that Partha goes to Duveneck School but I guess it was reported only that his family lives in that neighborhood. That explains the confusion
