But which of those constitutes guessing? The computer would likely have beaten 
me to the answer by at least a second :). It's easy enough to look up, for a 
computer that is. But in that instance a computer wouldn't need to guess. And 
for me, there were no multiple choices. It was hardly an educated guess - I 
never read the friggin book as I was supposed to! (the Odyssey). But the answer 
was a word I was familiar with from childhood, never actually knowing what it's 
origin was (mentor).

Wasn't that done about 12 years ago using Watson?
