full story

Damn, that's good. He is a computer engineer.
He must be a part time pornographer, because all the good computer engineers are in this field.

It's getting pretty exciting to watch.

This guy is the real deal

Yeah - dood's a genius

Yeah, that dude is a machine.

he seems un stoppable

heh, smart guy

I forgot about him.. I watched his run from around 10 to 19 which got him to the 600K range.

The funny thing about the episodes I watched is that he smoked the other contestants. Usually headed into final jeopardy, he had 20 or 30,000 and the other two had a couple thousand MAX.

There was no reason to even play final Jeopardy:1orglaugh

he wrote the answers onhis contacts ;)

jk

he looks bright...check his eyes

dam wat a genious, if i had that much shit to talk about id be the pimp of the world.

to bad buddy is probly a lonely geek. an almost millionaire geek that is.

i wish i had his brain :Graucho

He's married and has a child

i wish he can give me his brain.




:Graucho

He is now has 30 consecutive wins.
Now has won over 1 million ucks
This guy is good and fast too!.

damn, that guy is good !! :thumbsup

I only caught one of the shows, but he's amazing.

THIS IIIIIIIS, Quiz Show!

fuck yeah, that shit is insane!

dayum :eek2

I wish I had his $970,000 :glugglug

That's what I'm thinkin. God damn cheaters :Graucho

What is...people actually still talk about this?

They used to cut you off after 5 wins, then you could only come back for "championships". That must suck for all the jeopardy winners past who's winning streak was cut short.

It's too bad he's giving 10% to the Morman church.

In his interview he stated the most important factor is timing with the buzz-in after Alex finishes the question. He seemed to think that most of the time the other contestants knew the answers but he beat them to the buzzer.

Interesting. I think he gives them too much credit. I've never seen anyone on Jeopardy answer so many questions. He's amazing.

I thought it was hilarious when he was so far ahead he used his final Jeopardy to say
"What is "Hi, Mindy"? (greeting to his wife).

Supposed spoilers say he goes 10 episodes into next season.

hes a software developer I bet he got inside the game show computer and got all the answers

I didn't know that fact.

10% Church + 50% tax + 20% family/friends/free loffers= 20% left which the fame will make them divorce and he has to split that too. That sucks :(

His brain really should be studied. Must have magnificant memory pathways / system / structure.

Cheers,
Matt

after taxes that's only $500,000

Remeber Quiz Show? Based on a true story.

That's why I love Canada. Keep 100% of winnings.

Cheers,
Matt

yeah but you freeze your ass off 8 months of the year:1orglaugh

you mean Jeopardy still airs new shows? I can't belive that show is still on TV

Damn I gotta catch one of these eps. I heard he blitz through questions like no tommorow.

Naw, only parts of it and then only 2-4 months unless you're up North, but even then it's fine if you're not an idiot and dress properly. :)

Cheers,
Matt

thats hot for him. wish it was me

Their past years shows also have high ratings :)

It's 30 now :thumbsup

Thank God I'm not the only one who thinks this smells funny. Jeopardy has been falling in the ratings for year, now all of a sudden someone wins a million bucks. Bull shite.

Was thinking the same thing a few weeks ago when I first heard about it.
Maybe, maybe not.:winkwink:

I bet his cheating. He probablly implanted a mini-communication system in his ear, which makes him able to hear the answers from an army of 50 scientist on the other end...

Or maby he's just smart...

Neee... He's just cheating!!! :)

Jeopardy Execs are sure happy, they have increased their ratings greatly.
