That's probably better than the typical contestant who simply has categorical weak spots like sports or opera. Although not being able to grok audio or picture clues on top of that would be a real problem.
Every season has more clever, non-traditional categories to make Jeopardy! more playful. For example, it wouldn't be unusual to have a category like "Monopoly Colors," where responding to a Daily Double clue of "The $1 Bill" with "green" could be catastrophic.
This seems really fun, though. I'm very glad to see this kind of high-profile project that has the potential to rouse the curiosity of potential computer scientists.
