Caitlin, 14, a homeschooled eighth-grader, didn't miss a question in two days of competition in late May. She was the only girl among this year's 10 finalists and only the second female winner of the 19-year-old contest.

Cameron Diaz (Princess Fiona in the Shrek films), about former boyfriend Justin Timberlake, who voices the future King Arthur, to the Associated Press.
