Watson vs. The Champs: Day 1

Thanks to a good soul called "Rashad8821", we have the video, in two parts.

Enjoy.


I wish the program skipped the ad-like stuff at the beginning of the first segment. But the backgrounder on Watson's 'dumb' mistakes in the second segment is quite charming.

  1. Abi: the first part seems to have been mislinked. An episode of three's company has been embedded. Could you please correct that.

  2. @Arun: I too noticed it immediately after I posted it, and corrected it right away. It's working for me now.

    Reload the page, and it should work for you too.
