A month of preliminaries with kids fighting each other for their tactical slot came down to the final twelve, then whittled again to the last few standing. Three boys battling one by one on the memory board, picking out their questions, careful not to steal another lest they lose points for an incorrect guess. Host Anna Coren was audibly championing a spike named Thomas Anderson, her utter despair felt in the vocal smoothie as the penultimate run of questions for the last ever round clearly marked this boy's exit.
Down to the wire, two of the kids were taking it over each other with the third included only to humour his parents. The last question, the tripper, one on which the actor who was Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves threw Paul, crowning Aaron Chong who played a slack jaw at his stunning just-by-one win. No tactics employed here in the final, just raw fear keeping them on their toes and guesses made in question with a high degree of luck involved. The beefy kid in the final three never had a chance.
