Rush Holt Beats 'Watson' Computer In Congressional 'Jeopardy!' Showdown
Rep. Rush Holt (D-N.J.) did Monday night what two of the most renowned champions of "Jeopardy!" couldn't -- he conquered "Watson," an IBM supercomputer designed to answer complex questions, on the trivia game show.
In a congressional showdown of man vs. machine, Holt, a five-time "Jeopardy!" winner and nuclear physicist himself, defeated the computer with a score of $8,600. Watson finished with $6,200, while Rep. Bill Cassidy (R-La.), a third finalist, rounded out the trio with $1,000, The Hill reports.
