All,
Like Walt, I'm so spokesperson for Watson, but I have seen a video on
YouTube that helped explain the final Jeopardy! response of Toronto. Go here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lI-M7O_bRNg
3 minutes into the 10 minute video is where it starts. Around 4 minutes,
although we never saw it on TV, you can see what the other responses (and
percentages) Watson had for the final answer.
For those that don't want to watch a 10 minute video, here's the executive
summary:
1) There are many Torontos in the US
2) Toronto, Canada has a baseball team in an American baseball league.
3) The three final answers - all which were not a high confidence level and
were well below the "buzz level" were:
a) Toronto: 14
b) Chicago: 11
c) Omaha: 10
