NEW YORK(TIP):  Indian American teenager Dhruv Gaur has won the $100,000 Jeopardy college quiz championship.

The first-year student at Ivy League Brown University emerged the champion on April 20thin the two-day final round of the college edition of America’s most popular quiz show televised nationwide.

Mr. Gaur had scored a perfect score of 1,600 in the national-wide college entrance exam, Scholastic Aptitude Test.

About his plans for the winnings, a Jeopardy news release quoted him as saying, “I’m just going to save it until I need it for grad school or to pursue an opportunity I might really want in the future.”

“My little brother is really interested in investing, so I’ll give him some, so he can give the stock market a go,” he added.
