What Is I.B.M.âs Watson?

,----[ Quote ]
| This is the quintessential sort of clue you 
| hear on the TV game show âJeopardy!â Itâs 
| witty (the clueâs category is âPostcards From 
| the Edgeâ), demands a large store of trivia 
| and requires contestants to make confident, 
| split-second decisions. This particular clue 
| appeared in a mock version of the game in 
| December, held in Hawthorne, N.Y. at one of 
| I.B.M.âs research labs. Two contestants â 
| Dorothy Gilmartin, a health teacher with her 
| hair tied back in a ponytail, and Alison 
| Kolani, a copy editor â furrowed their brows 
| in concentration. Who would be the first to 
| answer?
