See, I go to CMU, where tuition is roughly the same as the cost of a space shuttle. If I could win at college Jeopardy, that would be a big help. I’m not really that smart, but I tend to make up for that with massive amounts of sarcasm, which has worked pretty well for me so far. Besides, it doesn’t matter who’s the best, it’s who wants it most that’ll win, right?

And no, I don’t actually believe that, but blissful naivete seems easier than actually learning things.
