"The Bat Jar Conjecture"
The guys decided to compete in a physics bowl but find Sheldon's showboating too much and kick him off the team, telling him "You're annoying and no one wants to play with you". Upset, Sheldon vows to form his own team and compete against them. The guys in need of a 4th member ask Leslie Winkle to join them. After being told it is to defeat Sheldon she joins as Sheldon had once told her that she should give up her research to bear children and do laundry.
At the bowl the guys team is called PMS, for Perpetual Motion Squad ("We can go all night!"). Sheldon assembles the 3rd floor janitor, the lunch lady, and her son (or butcher) as he could not compete alone. Sheldon's team is named AA for Army Ants. PMS wins by one question, when Sheldon (unable to answer the question) won't let the janitor's answer be accepted...even though it was correct (in America he's a janitor, but in the former Soviet Union he had been a physicist). In the end Penny declares she will tell who is officially the smartest...by asking a bunch of pop culture questions. Despite having a "combined IQ of 360" neither of the boys are able to properly answer any of the questions.
The title refers to the batman cookiejar that Leonard gave to Sheldon in order to soften the blow of being cut from the team.
