Trey Parikh, a 14-year-old eighth grader from California, defeated 12-year-old Ishan Gupta of Jersey City in a sudden death spell-off to win $50,000 in his final year of eligibility.

When the heavyweight battle was deadlocked after the ninth round, the judges declared a spell-off, which means these kids had to spell as many incredibly obscure words as they could in 90 seconds,

Shrae nailed 32 of them, the most in a spell off ever, while Ishan managed 25.

Toby, in this age of AI, it's nice to know that the kids are still reading books, even if it's just memorizing the dictionary.

No one wants to hear me do that.

I think you can do it.

B-R-O-M-O-C-R-I-P-T-I-N-E.

Okay, now a word.

I'm feeling good about myself now.

Now a word from our sponsor, LinkedIn Ads.

Toby, how do you generate return on ad spend?

Spend, spend.

Easy, Tiger.

If you don't optimize spend in the right way, it can easily be bullspend.

See, impressions, views, and reactions don't always lead to return.

That's why LinkedIn Ads helps you invest in what looks good to your CFO.

They generate the highest ROAS, 121% of all major ad networks.
