Go head lil mama:
BILLINGS, Mont. – After 41 rounds and 4 1/2 hours, Anna Rose Wright won the Treasure State Spelling Bee Saturday. “I have never seen a bee go this long,” said round judge Lynn Schwanke of Missoula, a previous state bee director for more than 20 years. “It was really remarkable.”
Anna Rose, 13, and Tim Best, 12, of Joliet battled head-to-head for 25 rounds after the remaining 63 contestants fell out of the competition.
She correctly spelled “mumpsimus,” — a person who persists in a mistaken expression or belief — and then clinched the victory by spelling “galenical,” — a medicinal preparation made mostly of herbs or vegetable matter.

Mumpsimus…now that is a word I did not know. Interesting!
