Tonight, for the second consecutive night, instead of keeping track of my score during Jeopardy!…I ate pizza.  And it felt good.  I did keep score on Monday, and got what may be my highest score ever:
Coryats: Erin Beach 9000     Paul Wampler 17200     Roger Mueller-Kim 12000     Me 28600
     And there’s still plenty to blog about:  Tonight at 9 p.m. Central, the “Smartest Machine on Earth” episode of Nova will be on PBS.  This is all about “Watson” and the matches between it and Ken Jenning and Brad Rutter.  I plan to watch and take notes.  I hope you’ll watch too!
     Even more exciting – MUCH more exciting for some of us – The Jeopardy! online tests are happening this week!  I’d like to do one hundred exclamation points, but I guess I won’t.  Anyone else taking the test?  I took mine tonight.  The Jeopardy! message boards have a transcript with answers, so I know that I got 39/50, but possibly up to 41 depending on whether or not a couple of my last-second partial answers were accepted.  Thirty-five is widely believed to be the cut-off, so…I DID IT!  How did you guys do?  I’d love to hear about it.
