Jeopardy: IBM's Watson Vs Man (Day 2)

Watson hammered both Ken & Brad with the plethora of knowledge running within his silicon veins, the myriad of information it stored within its gigantic hardware. As of now Watson looks invincible. With such as ostentatious performance by Watson it seems only a miracle can help mankind beat the machine in the final round which is tonight.





The final standings of Day 2 is as follows:
Watson at # 1 with his total earnings at 35,734
Brad at # 2 with his total earnings at 10,400
Ken at # 3 with his total earnings at 4800

Watson is fallible, we have seen in the last question which seems not to be that difficult. Both Ken & Brad got it right but Watson failed. If Watson makes such mistakes (which he hardly does) humans got the chance of beating the machine, but looking at the odds it seems that Watson has already beaten its creators, us the mankind.
