+29k today, bringing him to ~195k in 5 days.
The other assholes got the daily doubles in double jeopardy. He did bet it all in the daily double he got in the regular jeopardy round, though. This Roger Craig, He is a Man. And it is He I shall follow. |

Roger wagered $12k tonight late in Double Jeopardy when he had 20k and his closest opponent was in the ~$10k area. He got the question correct.
That said, he went into Final Jeopardy without a run away. He had 35.2k vs 2nd place's 18k. And the fucker missed the god damned final question. a;ldsjf;alsjf;askjdf Everybody missed it, though. ROGER LIVES! |

Psychedelics are illegal not because a loving government is concerned that you may jump out of a third story window. Psychedelics are illegal because they dissolve opinion structures and culturally laid down models of behavior and information processing.

I honestly wish I could say I was disappointed. But in reality I'm more pissed that you brought him into our lives only to be snatched away so quickly more than anything else.
Maybe I'm not being fair. Maybe I'm being blinded by emotion right now. But right now I can say without hesitation that I hate what you've done. I don't like this feeling. But I feel hatred towards you as well. And I'm ashamed that I could have those feelings toward another human being. I didn't know this was inside me. Something so ugly. |

Roger showed the world what Jeopardy can be, he is the prophet that brought forth the true meaning of Jeopardy: doubling down. Even if he is only a flash in the pan, surely he will have inspired others to greatness, hopefully ushering in a new era of high-stakes daily doubles and powerful combatants willing to put it all on the line in the pursuit of intellectual glory.

He would not have.
The problem was that he didn't find many of the Daily Doubles. I believe he only found 1 of the 3. While Roger was a stud with general question answering, his buzzing skills were lacking. Back when Ken was steamrolling, it seemed like every time the guy buzzed in, it was He who was first. Not Roger. Instead, he was no better than the other players and, in the end, of the "free for all" questions that everyone knew, he only got the chance to answer 1/3 of them. It was only a matter of time for Roger. |

As I'm sure many of you know, Ken and Brad Rutter will be facing IBM's Watson on Jeopardy next week. Watson is a computer that is sexy more for his ability to parse natural language (including Jeopardy's multiple puns and inferences) than his ability to just find data (Google could do that).
Here is a practice round: |

I noticed Ken was trying to buzz in on a lot of the questions that Watson answered correctly. Bush league if Watson's "buzz in" is instantaneous. That's obviously quite an advantage for him over a human who will take some small bit of time to officially have "buzzed in" from the time their brain told their finger to push the button.
Also, I wonder if Watson is reading the questions or listening to them being dictated? Reading, I would assume. Again, he has an inherent advantage over the humans here as he can "read" the clue quite a lot quicker I would imagine. Finally, that douchebag had better not be hosting Jeopardy next week in Alex's place. |

Ken Jennings did an AMA on Reddit. Username: Watsonsbitch. He's actually pretty hilarious.
