[bhrami]

A 13-year-old Indian-origin boy from Florida [ Images ] has won the 22nd annual National Geographic Bee – courtesy his knowledge about Haiti.

By correctly answering that Cap-Haitien is the largest city in northern Haiti that was renamed following Haiti's independence from France [ Images ], Aadith Moorthy received a 25,000-dollar college scholarship, a free trip to the Galapagos Islands and a lifetime membership to the National Geographic Society.

Grinning on stage after the win, Moorthy said that he'd felt confident all along, reports National Geographic News. He said, "I wanted to win--that was my goal," adding that he "thought the questions would be harder."

The 13-year-old Palm Harbor Middle School student also a trained Carnatic singer.
