    Has anybody been watching Jeopardy this week?

    They have Watson an artificial intelligent program competing on it. Today will be the last day of the competition and if you haven't seen it yet it's worth seeing as the technology is really interesting. IBM is looking to design a useful AI type technology in order to assist those in various fields like the medical industry.

    Perhaps I'm a stupid fool, but can someone explain the rules of Jeopardy?
    Vale,

    P.S. Would you please point out if I make any grammatical or spelling errors? It would be very much appreciated. I will rep+ you if you can also explain the error to me.

    Win.
    when the union's inspiration through the worker's blood shall run,
    there can be no power greater anywhere beneath the sun,
    yet what force on earth is weaker than the feeble strength of one?
    but the union makes us strong.
