A senior from Cal Poly...

Robert Arshonsky

How did you prepare for today's show?
I've prepared for this show by reading a lot of Wikipedia--looking through encyclopedia articles--and reading the past Jeopardy! questions online.

Are you as nervous as you were last time on Jeopardy!?
Yeah, actually, I am! [Laughs] Uh, I think there's a lot more pressure now. Uh, when I'm younger, I was a lot more cockier, so I wasn't afraid to say, "I'm gonna win", "Get first place", everything--now I'm a lot more, uh, humble from college and whatnot.

Was there anything embarrassing you did on your first appearance?
Um, well, I was losing until the very end and got lucky on the, uh, Final Jeopardy! question--and I misspelled it, so... still living that one down from friends.

Do you have a dream category?
I wanna say something to do with computer science, but I think that would be--add a lot of extra pressure, so... hopefully, like, um, HISTORY, would be a very good category.
