Ken Jennings has broken another record on Jeopardy

What does the directory structure of his brain look like?

I had the pleasure seeing this guy a couple of times this year and man this fellow is something else. His range of knowledge and the speed at which he can vector in on an answer is like nothing I've ever seen or heard of before.

He must have a system or a directory structure in his head. I wonder what it looks like?

Shall I ruin the story? :)

I'm ready to have the story ruined.

He gets beat this season. There's a ton of rumors that he got beat during the Sept 7th taping, (his 74th or 75th match). He ends up with $2.5 million or something.

Ok, so it wasn't a big surprise. It's only heresay at this point too. They've stopped saying what number his streak is up to, I think so people don't only tune in on the show he gets beat.

Could be just another internet rumor. Supposedly tvweek.com has an article confirming his defeat.

Here is the top level directories for his head:

Greek Mythology
How to cook pasta
History-Battles
History-Leaders
Mormon Dogma
Science-Notable Persons
Science-How things work
How to drive a car
Current Events
Pot Porri
How to talk to chicks
Math
Physics
Computer Programming
Downtown Salt Lake street map
Potent Potables
Witty Alex Trebeck Banter

"downtown SLC street map"

Well, nothing clever about that - it's all numbered squares after all.... just like every other town layout in Utah....

That must be why I am so dumb, a San Francisco street map takes up too much of my brain.
