By the way, you CAN have Watson's programming run on a normal desktop. It would take 2 hours to solve one question, but it would work. Who knows, maybe in a few years it'll be 1 hour. Or even *gasp* 30 minutes! yikes

So... who exactly won? I get that Watson got the Final Jeopardy question wrong, but did he lose enough to fall behind Ken or Brad?

watson only bet about $900 on the last question, so he's still in the lead! but they are combining the scores from the first two days and tonight, so they may catch up! big_smile

Watson won, but he didn't get the Final Jeopardy question. Watson bet $957 on it, and Alex called him a "sneak". My dad did get the last question, though. It was something like:
This city's two airports are named after a WWII pilot, and a WWII battle.
The answer was: Chicago.

Ok. What's next? Super computer game shows.

Question 1.
Calculate pi?

The computers start to calculate it and the humans say that it is not a valid question.

On today, February 16th, 2011, a supercomputer built by International Business Machines (IBM) consisting of ten racks each containing ten Power750 servers, have beat the two best Jeopardy players in the world, winning 1 million dollars, all to be donated to charity.

I am stunned.

I think it's pretty cool that they accomplished this. I mean like they said, we're still far off from "Star Trek"-esque computers.... but we are that much closer!

hey I wonder if Watson knows about scratch? tongue

Next Challenge: Make a scratch project! lol
