The champion [[1997 Klein|Klein]] team was the seventh and, as of 2007, last non-all-star team to win the tournament.<br /> <br /> A team from [[1996 NCSSM|North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics]] saw four members stranded on the way from the amusement park portion of Disney World to the competition hotel due to a flat tire on the bus; two team members were forced to play the game by themselves or forfeit. They proceeded to win their preliminary game.<br /> <br /> Third place team members received $500 scholarships and gold rings.<br /> <br /> ==Survey==<br /> <br /> As in several previous PACs, the participants were surveyed on current issues. This led to the amusing headline &quot;America&#039;s Brightest Teens Support Death Penalty For McVeigh.&quot; 75% of the students though advertising promoted the use of cigarettes by minors, but a majority said that tobacco companies should not be legally responsible for smoking-related illnesses. 67% thought sitting Presidents should be vulnerable to arrest or lawsuits, and an equal number found the Clinton administration more unethical than its predecessors. A majority was in favor of legalizing same-sex marriage.<br /> <br /> {{Browse box|Tournament = 1997 [[Panasonic Academic Challenge]]<br /> |previous = [[1996 PAC]]<br /> |next = [[1998 PAC]]<br /> | }}<br /> <br /> [[Category:PAC]]<br /> [[Category:Original QBWiki Page]]</div>
