“[It] feels pretty awesome,” Jaskaran said of winning the $250,000 grand prize. “It’ll definitely go a long way towards paying my tuition and a lot more.”

The collegiate tournament, hosted by Mayim Bialik, brought together 36 of America’s sharpest undergrads. The Texas Longhorn’s strategy to come out on top?

“Buzz fast and know things.”

Congratulations, Jaskaran!
