Show Host Scott Hayes Commentary

Judge Susan Visser, IBM, wrote a terrific blog about today's show. Check it out! I am in awe of our worldwide reach - today's contestants were from Finland, Portugal, and India. Our USA contestants called in sick. I thought two of today's presentations were superbly prepared and delivered.
