Meet The Man Who Hacked Jeopardy

When Arthur Chu got the call saying he’d been selected to go on Jeopardy, his first move was thorough and decisive: He went to Google and typed in “jeopardy strategy.”

“I knew that just like in terms of my natural knowledge base, I wasn’t ready to go on Jeopardy,” Chu told me on the phone this morning. “I wasn’t like Ken Jennings—automatically knowing everything from the top of my head. So I had to train.”
