On February 16, 2011, IBM’s Watson DeepQA computer won Jeopardy!, beating trivia maven Brad Rutter and current Jeopardy! host and no slouch when it comes to knowing things that it is strange that things that aren’t databases know, Ken Jennings.

According to IBM, to get the computer to where it needed to be the company assigned more than 24 scientists, engineers and programmers, including a guy who’d won $10,000 on Jeopardy!

IBM: “It took the team five years to prefect the question-answering system.”

And the system “was a room-size computer consisting of 10 racks holding 90 servers, with a total of 2,880 processor cores.”

Rutter and Jennings? Just a couple of guys.

The idea for developing the system followed IBM’s Deep Blue computer defeating chess champion Garry Kasparov in 1997—although it should be noted that when the two first faced off in 1996 Kasparov beat the computer, 4-2.

And similarly, Watson didn’t win from the start, either.

There were two matches over three days.

In the first match, the clue for the question to be created for “Final Jeopardy” in the category “U.S.

I believe in Jeopardy. Growing up, my family had a dinnertime routine. No matter what food we were eating or who was sitting around the kitchen table that night, we would always watch Jeopardy! at 7 o’clock. As Alex Trebek read the questions (or, as they’re known in Jeopardy terms, answers), we ate leftover lasagna and tried to remember facts about world geography and Shakespeare. The first person to shout out the correct answer was the winner. There was never any prize for us playing along at home, but that didn’t matter to me; being smarter than my parents and my sister was all the reward I needed. It was during these nightly viewings of Jeopardy that I first realized I didn’t like not knowing things. Nothing was worse to me than watching an entire category of clues go by while I knew nothing. I devoted my time to reading almanacs, newspapers, and even the dictionary in an attempt to learning everything about, well, everything. I don’t consider myself a competitive person; I lose
