Baby Ruth - schade, daß man sie in Deutschland nicht kaufen können :-) http://i.huffpost.com/gen/3718028/thumbs/o-NE...

The classic candy bar is a Baby Ruth and the Supreme Court Justice is Ruth Ginsburg (not Baby Ruth) - put them together and you get Baby Ruth Ginsburg.

Ach so, dann muss der Bindestrich weg. Wurde im OP so behauptet, dass es den süßen doppelten Vornamen bei ihr gäbe.

Side note: The American Supreme Court justice is more commonly referred to as Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and sometimes (less respectfully, I'd say) by her initials RBG.

Just goes to show that even a computer can have a brain fart :-)

re #6,7: Aber macht ihn das nicht gerade so menschlich? Ein Computer macht ja bei reinen Wissensfragen normalerweise keine Fehler. Ich glaube, dass war Absicht, damit wir Watson liebhaben :)

Genau. Ab und zu muss man mal einen Fehler machen, wenn man nicht als Streber gelten will :-)

@Gibson:

The simplest question to answer is, "What's the most common Jeopardy! category?" Jeopardy! fans can likely reel off a slew of contenders, both ones that are standard on trivia shows ("Science" and "U.S. History," for example) and specific to Jeopardy! ("Potent Potables" and "Potpourri"). But which category leads the pack? Overall, it's "Before & After," a tricky category that has appeared 114 times in the episodes logged at J-Archive. That category, which asks contestants to come up with answers like "Who is Ford Madox Ford Mustang?" ("Parade's End author who drives the first of the Pony Cars") and "What is The Joy of Sex Pistols?" ("Alex Comfort's romantic how-to guide for Johnny Rotten & Sid Vicious' band"), accounts for about 0.26 percent of all category appearances, or one out of every 387 categories. (This calculation doesn't include riffs on the theme, like "Superhero Before & After" and "Supreme Court Before & After.")

The other piece of information that helps to explain the Jeopardy clue and answer is the question's category -- in this case, the category where the trick is to combine two phrases by using one overlapping word.

After some research, I finally remembered that the category's name is 'Before & After,' or in this case very possibly 'Supreme Court Before & After.'

Yes -- apparently IBM is still using it as part data-mining tool, part publicity gimmick.

I was surprised to see that one recent customer was the publisher Condé Nast. I hope that's in the fashion division, not the New Yorker magazine.
