Jeopardy, Watson the A.I., and Maserati

[julieval]

I am a big fan of Jeopardy and have been looking forward to this exhibition. I agree with Dale; being able to ring in faster is the key. Ken Jennings often would ring in and then take some time to come up with the answer during his winning streak. I find it interesting that WATSON totally took a dive on the Final Jeopardy question last night. Given the category of US Cities, it should never have answered Toronto. It would know Toronto was a Canadian city.

Are you trying to say that it's rigged! No....

But then he could have been fooled by the fact that they said "america" as opposed to the US, because technically the US & Canada are North America.
