Ep 143: Kannan Sethuraman, Cameron Ling (July 27, 2016; originally aired February 16, 2011)

Rounds: Here.


Kannan Sethuraman gets his turn in the champion's seat, and the topic turns again to his son -- Richard asks whether Kannan compared his results with Anand after the previous game.  Kannan says that he did, and they both did well.

Tonight's challenger is Cameron Ling, a budding novelist who teaches English as a second language.  Cameron teaches in a school for new migrant children, so it is kids that have just arrived in Australia; the school tries to get them ready for mainstream schooling here.


Kanna found a good word in round one to take the early lead, then the next four rounds were shared.  Round six proved to be significant, with Cameron's invalid answer giving points to Kannan again, and the final numbers round also went Kannan's way.  That gave him a winning lead going into the conundrum; neither could solve it, so Kannan won 53 to 32.
