While you are resting your shin, you can play Jeopardy against Watson! I think I read that it was a goal of yours to get on the show. Have fun!

I lost big time! No surprise - too many tricky American terms and companies in some of the questions. And in a real Jeopardy thereĀ“s no way we could answer as quickly as Watson - I had to think a lot even to get the questions that I answered correctly.

No, (s)he would obviously crush us if (s)he had the chance to "buzz in" first!

Well, I went there a second time to see if there were more questions.
No, they only had one set of questions but I did them again just for fun and this time I won 62-5 ;)

hmm, that seems to be from last June... I'd be surprised if it is hooked up to the current version.
