Man vs Computer - The score is tied!

That could work.

But then the point of broad spectrum information analysis would be lost. Though the game may be in part a test of human response time, the robot doesn't care about that, not really. What needs to happen is to eliminate the interpretation of the light going on by a human as the right time to push a button. Put a tin beannie on the human and read his brain wave activity directly from his eye. Wire that to the button, and you have a match for the robot. (presuming they all know the answer )

And on the local news (?) tonight they reported Watson is coming to the University of Maryland Medical System to assist with 2nd opinions. A new form of Jeopardy???
