Do you know that? How? Stats?



There's no way to know what portion of the clues the human contestants knew the correct responses to. I've watched Ken and Brad play extensively though, so I very strongly suspect that they easily knew at least as many as Watson.


I would like some stats about that. As I said, Watson could have correctly answered 84% of the questions, nobody could answer 6% of the questions. That leaves a very thin margin for the humans, if past games are any indication one that is probably not large enough.
