So here I am just a few minutes away from watching Jeopardy!! for the second night in a row.  While I'm not your typical connoisseur of game shows, this one has me intrigued.  IBM has entered their own computerized contestant named Watson.  It's a fascinating attempt by IBM to bring humanoid intellect and deductive reasoning into a very challenging format.  Watson seems to do very well overall, especially with questions that call for simple definition.  Other questions that require topical deduction such as a question last evening about the Harry Potter films, Watson was either too late to the button or didn't answer the question accurately or fully.  Nevertheless, Watson and another player are tied for the lead as Watson displayed an amazing aptitude for speedy response and verbal accuracy that seemed at times unfair.    Tonight it's the double jeopardy round.
