About this challenge

Between apartment 4A and 4B in Pasadena, whiteboard physics collides with Cheesecake Factory shifts — and that hallway is where this guessing game lives.

Track affiliation, job, professional field, debut season, and how each person ties into the group to pin down the secret Big Bang Theory character. One guess at Sheldon, Penny, or Kripke tells you whether you're still on the Caltech campus or already at the comic shop.
