KenJennings Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 This guy's method is nothing new, and I don't think it presents any massive advantage. Ultimately, he wins because he's really smart- not because of his method. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost In Xanadu Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 "Hack" is such an overused word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimately, he wins because he's really smart- not because of his method.I watch it every night and I couldn't agree more. I am not really sure how what he does fits any definition of hacking.

USB Connector Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 This isn't hacking. If having a strategy to win a game annoys people then they should stop playing these games competitively. Game shows are for money, so naturally it will attract a very competitive crowd. He is not using any external means of winning, nor did he hack into the Jeopardy database and memorize the questions. You can't win on such a strategy alone, you still need to know your stuff. That strategy is just an extra little nudge in your favour. The author of the article needs to invest in a dictionary, because he is the only hack in that article. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
