Bruce's Journal

Bruce Slutsky was born in New York City in 1949. I retired six years ago after working as a Science/Engineering Librarian at the New Jersey Institute of Technology in Newark for 25 years. I was married to Karen until she passed away in February 2021. I have a son Lee who is now 35 years old. I am very much interested in the popular music of the 1960s, especially Bob Dylan and the Beatles. I am interested in rock and roll radio. I am an enthusiastic fan of the New York Mets.

Roger Craig is Not Watson the IBM Computer

The finals of the Jeopardy Battle of the Decades is set with Roger Craig facing off against Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter. A few years ago Brad and Ken lost to Watson the IBM computer, but for the next two days they will face Roger Craig (not the former Met who lost 24 games in 1962). Anyway Brad has never lost to a human player, while Ken won 74 game in a row. All 3 are excellent players. I think the luck factor will be who get the Daily Doubles, how they bet, and if they get it right.

I will have to record Thursday game since I will be at Citifield watching the Subway Series. Good luck to all.
