Engadget has posted a video of the test.
One of the biggest challenges facing the machine, including human speech and respond orally, decryption if the question contains some element of irony or metaphor. Watson won the two rivals try by answering correctly human and offered the three responses had been assessed and the degree of success he attributed to each.
IBM has developed a video presentation of the supercomputer. If you win the competition, the profits will go to charitable funds.
