I have a few questions about the show/how things were set up, etc.

In the pilot episode, Dr. Samuels tells Mr. Moore who the class is composed of and what their concentrations are. Janice doesn't have a concentration because she's a child genius that knows everything, and Eric was considered to be the "class punk" (until we find out he is a literary genius as the show progresses) who was only there because of his mother. However, Maria wasn't mentioned. What's her concentration?

Also, with all the random characters (actual guest characters and those only recognized in mentioning) such as Christina who is a cello genius in "Cello Fever" and the Fisher brothers (who excelled at the science fairs in "Science Fair-Weather Friends") who are better than the IHP in certain things, how come they didn't make the IHP? (The fact that these are guest/invisible characters aside.)

And foremost, the show centered on a history class...who's the history buff? :confused:

I was just on a roll in thought-processing mode!
