Funny and fascinating.

My first thought, though, was "Brain and brain, what is brain?"

Now that's the only way I can see it.

What is leg was pretty funny.

So too was the computer giving the same wrong answer the other contestant did, and Alex chastizing the computer severely.

The computer looks like it as a good chance of winning. It is however, more likely to mess up the harder questions.

If the computer wins the next challenge should be hooking the system into a voice recitation system. This would slow the time the computer, and allowing the humans a greater chance to buzz in. Currently they are sending a text file to the computer of the clue. It does not have to process an audio signal to gain the information in the clue like the human players. this would be a more difficult problem for the IBM to solve.

Yeah, it's average ring-in time is faster than the Humans'. So, despite some weird flubs, it's pulled way ahead of the other two. I don't see how they can hope to catch up today (which is the last day of the competition).

Perhaps Cyberdyne Systems can find an integration solution.

Does anyone know what was the joke behind the "I'll wager $6435"? I'm assuming its either an ultra geeky engineering joke or it's an inside joke. If not then it's a random number based on some wagering algorithm.

I don't know for sure if this means Skynet is right around the corner, but I can't hear "What is leg?" without immediately hearing "Baby don't hurt me". Then the Haddaway song starts up...
