In a super tournament about a year ago Brad actually beat Ken Jennings and a third player named Jerome Vered. When Brad played for the first time there was a limit on 5 victories for a champion. There was no telling how far Brad would have gone if there was no limit. I read in Jennings book that about 30,000 people apply to be contestants each year on Jeopardy and only 400 get on the show. That means the odds are 75 to 1 against each applicant.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
