Thanks for the heads up I wanted to see this.

are you more, or less angry when you lose if it is to a machine? I mean in speed of hitting the button, the machine, but as far as needing to search and recite info, hmmm,

guess it depends on who the opponents are? are they making it play against that Ken Jennings guy?

[Rand{CLR}]

I really need to remember this. I've moved on from Jeopardy to a double-dose of Seinfeld repeats. I know today through Wednesday are the days, but I'm sure I'll forget another 2 times before 7:30.

P.S. yes, Ken is one of the 2 humans. The other guy apparently managed to win more than Ken in shear cash dollars, or maybe just more than any 5-day run of Ken.

damnit, even told myself not to pull a rand,, totally forgot,, who won the first game?

[Rand{CLR}]

They only got through single Jeopardy of the first of two games. Spent the rest of the time explaining Watson in various ways. It's tied with the non-Ken human, with Ken close behind.

It has not yet been taught not to provide the incorrect answer a human just provided.
