So how do you think a couple of sharp human minds would stack up against IBM’s Watson in a game of Jeopardy? Former Jeopardy champions Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter find out when they taste bitter defeat in this rather one-sided three-minute practice session.

To be fair, Ken scores a few points, but Watson came through on way too many of the big questions to give either of the organic contestants much of a chance.

If you wish to mentally battle Watson, Ken and Brad from the comfort of your own home, you can do so when the big match hits the little screen from Feb. 14-16.
