"The Big Bang Theory" Trivia Challenge

Last's week's puzzle was for a fan, but this week's puzzle was all my idea. I'm a huge fan of "The Big Bang Theory," and have watched every episode many times. So, if you know what Stuart majored in at the Rhode Island School of Design, or which theoretical physicist played Words with Friends with Sheldon, or what Mrs. Wolowitz's favorite cookie is, bazinga!
Happy solving!
