“On “Jeopardy!” Monday night, we learned what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object. It turns out the librarian wins.
Emma Boettcher, a 27-year-old University of Chicago librarian with Triangle ties, appears to have been the perfect foil to take down James Holzhauer, the man who broke “Jeopardy!” Over 32 games, Holzhauer amassed more than $2.4 million in winnings, falling $58,000 short of Ken Jennings’s earnings, the all-time record holder during regular play.”

This is awesome.
