Jepordy challange and Willson ( aka IBM pc)

What got me laughing about this was its not about thinking its about algorithms and fact / statement searching. How dare I make this claim ? well ok first it’s a neat gimmick and I am digging it and rooting for the meatbags. That out of the way. Final jeopardy from what they are calling day one.

US cities

Clue

What city’s largest airport is named after a famous world war hero. That same city’s 2nd largest airport is named after a famous world war two battle.


OK I missed this one and would have lost…. But I guessed a US city. Wilson’s answer was Toronto. Ok all laughing aside. A 7 year old child can guess the name of a US city. It might not have gotten the trivia aspect of it but it would understand US and city and understand the boundaries that question presented to guess within. Any way I am laughing and not fearing skynet today.

so what was the answer? its gotta be chicago. midway airport sounds like WWII to me. chicago always likes to name things after someone,something or sometime... so its gotta be.

funny groing up there I always thought midway was named that because it was positioned midway between the loop and the suburbs. or midway betwwen the loop and o'hare. never new what o'hare was from either, sounded like a rabbit when I was a kid. lol

hmm, midway... reminds of drag racing my camaro in high school...

I thought this computers name was watson? so who's smoking one you or me?

neat idea, needs some work though.

Alex Trebec on the following show made a crack at the computer saying
we have learned a lot for one thing we now know Tronto is now a us city.


ha cool explanation of why it is called midway. thanks for naming it too becase i had no idea what chicagos airports names were.
