As I understand Watson is passed a question in the form of a text string. A number of questions come to my mind. 1) When does Watson get question? The question is spoken so the time between when the sting is sent and the reader finishes speaking gives Watson all that time to look up results. 2) Are questions phrased exactly as they appear in lookup tables?

He didn't leave enough time to recover between games and wore himself out. The programmers for Deep Blue kept changing the algorithm between matches so the weaknesses found in one game didn't exist in the next game. If Deep Blue played today's chess champion there's a very good chance it would lose. The champion wouldn't take the challenge lightly.
