LOL , shouldnt we be saluting Jeopardy! instead , for being a game show even a computer cant beat ?

[DarkAnimeWindSlayer]

I bet Google wants to get their hands on this machine so it can answer every question >:D Google Ask Engine

[2nDoppelganger]

they should ask it if god exists

@Professoranton it receives a text version of the jeopardy "question" at the same time that the contestants see it on the screen. It also receives a text copy of the "answer" if someone else gets it correct so that it can learn. Otherwise it has no audio in capability.

@Professoranton it first interpretets a human voice(or line of ASCI text), then he translates it to Bits(binary-code). Throw it in the machine it's self, does the same procces but in reverse, whoila you have your awnser
