"IBM super-computer Watson ended up with $35,734, trumping all-star
champs Brad Rutter ($10,400) and Ken Jennings ($4,800)."


I would not bet against the machine.  It did mess up the Final
Jeopardy question, but it was wise enough to bet less than $1k.  I
would be shocked, shocked, if Watson did not win at this point.
