Well, the streak has ended. Someone has finally defeat Ken Jennings on Jeopardy. Talk about a moment in history. I made sure to watch his final episode last night. I can remember the early days that Ken was mastering the Jeopardy answers. He has gave Alex more than 2700 correct responses and has won over $2.5 million on the show.. For women activists, a woman named Nancy Zerg beat him. I was sort of surprised at the answer that he lost to. The clue was "Most of this firm’s 70,000 seasonal white-collar employees work only four months a year." The answer of course is "What is H&R Block?" Oh well. Sorry, Ken. He said that he was just glad that he didn't lose to an answer that he knew or he didn't state the response in form of a question. He said he is going to donate 10% of his winnings to his church in Salt Lake City and take a vacation to Europe. H&R Block has stepped in to make sure that Ken keeps a favorable opinion of the company. They are giving him a free tax preparation for life. I bet the Jeopardy folks are sad to see him go since ratings have increased 22% while Ken has been on the show. Well, the best of luck to you, Ken!
