Liam Griffith

Father: Gary Griffith, Software Consultant

Liam has tested into the 99.9 percentile with an IQ test score of 142. Far more emotional than his brother (Kellan), Liam is volatile and rarely fails at anything he puts his mind to.

Liam loves spelling; he is proud of the fact that he has never gotten a single word wrong on a spelling test. He is an exceptional student, far outreaching the rest of his class, but is bored by the lack of challenge.

Why he’ll win?

Liam is the go-to-guy for creativity and strategy. Questions come through online from adult players who have no idea they are being tutored by a 9 year old.
