Question Details
Who will win "Jeopardy!" - The IBM Challenge?
Predictions
Background
Beginning on Valentine's Day, an IBM-engineered machine named Watson will compete in a three-night, two-game stretch on "Jeopardy!," battling all-star champions Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter.
Only one will emerge as interspecies overlord.
When IBM staged a practice round with Jennings and Rutter before a group of journalists, Watson won. Asked if he was nervous about the next big match, Rutter evoked "The Terminator," joking, "I will be [nervous] when Watson's progeny comes back from the future to kill me."
The grand prize for the competition will be $1 million, with second place earning $300,000, and third place earning $200,000. Rutter and Jennings will donate 50 percent of their winnings to charity, and IBM will donate 100 percent of its winnings to charity.
