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).

Can these things make food guesses. It was a long time ago, 15 - 20 years, I was watching
Jeopardy and within a relatively short span of time, days or weeks apart, I successfully
guessed the correct answer to the final question. But none of the contestants did, and
believe you me my success up until that point was poor by comparison. I remember 1 of the
questions, but both were merely guesses, fairly educated ones one might say. But I
didn't actually know the answers. Can AI do that?
Wasn't that done about 12 years ago using Watson?
