Jeopardy! star finally meets his match
IllogicalStudent writes on Slashdot “The Toronto Star is reporting that the episode of Jeopardy where Ken Jennings (a.k.a. ‘The Jeopardy Guy’) finally loses aired this evening. It came down to a 2-person finish (3rd had -2600 at the end of Double Jeopardy, and was eliminated) between Ken and opponent Nancy Zerg, with the final category being Business & Industry. Ken answered ‘Fed Ex’ to the question ‘Most of this firm’s 70,000 seasonal white-collar employees work only four months a year,’ when the correct answer was ‘H&R Block.’ Ken finished his record-streak with just over $2.5 Million.”

In other Jeopardy news, a Carnegie Mellon University student bets $1337. For the uninitiated, in ‘leetspeak’ 1337 translates to ‘leet’ or ‘elite.’”
