Excellence. Brilliance. Perseverance. These are just a few of the words that can be found on Wyatt Carpenter's QBwiki page.

As the Co-President of the 2015-2016 Inglemoor Quizbowl team (and the sometime second-best player on the team), Carpenter was known for his Calvin Coolidge-style presidency, in that he did nothing and probably caused the Great Depression.

Carpenter has repeatedly voiced a distaste for sports and classical music questions (with the exception of those related to Franz Liszt), considering them "trash categories". He is, in situations where no one more knowledgeable is around, known to guess "Manning" for every question that vaguely relates to American football.

Carpenter is also remembered for his introduction of the "Wyatt S Carpenter Memorial Quiz Bowl Strategy", which can be summed up in the phrase "do whatever gets you the most sick plays". He has never once put this strategy into practice.

Carpenter is perhaps best known for his work on Inglemoor's Presidential Succession Problem and his role in the creation of Schopenhauer. His greatest contribution to academia was that one time he corrected Allen Ginsberg's Wikipedia page (Carpenter only noticed this error because it was in the brief summary at the beginning of the article, which is the only part of a Wikipedia article he ever reads).
