17-year-old Leonard Cooper from Little Rock, Arkansas recently appeared on Jeopardy’s Teen Tournament and surprised everyone with his answer in Final Jeopardy. Cooper entered the second day of the tournament $16,000 behind leader Nilai Sarda, he risked almost everything on a Daily Double which landed him back in the game. Cooper didn’t have an answer for the final question – On June 6, 1944, he said, ‘The eyes of world are upon you’. He simply wrote – ‘Who is some guy in Normandy. But I just won $75,000!’ In an interview following the tournament, Leonard says the $75,000 will go to college, music equipment and a car. Cooper’s Jeopardy clip has soared to over 5 million views in less than 48 hours.
