That was the Jeopardy question. I got the wording off the reddit recap.
I’m surprised Non-violence was an acceptable answer. It’s the way pacifists react to violence.
Maybe both answers would have been accepted. I don’t know anything about Ahimsa. Never heard of him. I did know Gandhi was a pacifist.
The ‘James Train’ keeps rolling along. Though he did slip up a few times, he still won handily yesterday. He frequently blows away his competition.
Tomorrow’s game will be historical. I expect him to break Ken Jenning’s record then.
Since we’re talking about a game that insists on precise wording, I will point out that nothing happening tomorrow can be historical. It can however be expected to be historic. 
panache45 never said that it is historical, but that it will be. And there will indeed come a time when 3 Jun 2019 will be historical.
LOL, so it was just a redundant statement that is true about any day we could name? 
Perhaps I should have said “hysterical”.
Hmmm, yes, historical. He loses to a librarian and is 55k short of Jennings record.
Emma slayed the giant with similar tactics. Her gutsy move on the DD2 made the difference.
James was oddly slow on the buzzer today. I know we’ll see him again in s Tournament of Champions.
From Reddit recap
DD1, $1,000 - LITERATURE - The title peak of this Thomas Mann novel is home to a Swiss sanitorium (James wagered $1,000 on the first clue of the game.)
DD2, $800 - CAPITAL “A” - It’s home to the annual United States Sailboat Show (Emma bet her entire $7,600 to take the lead from James, who had $12,600.)
DD3, $2,000 - POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY - On book covers from GOP lawmakers Jason Chaffetz & Mike Lee is this phrase for the bureaucracy said to be working against democracy (Emma wagered $3,000 from her score of $20,400 vs. $17,400 for James.)
FJ - SHAKESPEARE’S TIME - The line “A great reckoning in a little room” in “As You Like It” is usually taken to refer to this author’s premature death
It’s been a fun run and maybe earned Jeopardy some new fans.
I think Jeopardy should revisit its buzzer system. A guy who can master that timing has an unfair advantage over his opponents, particularly when he gets a few games under his belt and is playing against those new to the buzzer. I’d rather see a turn-based game.
It’ll be interesting to see if Emma has a good run on Jeopardy.
The lady that beat Ken Jennings didn’t win again.
A bunch of twats on twitter started tweeting out the result right after it aired in Japan and Arkansas. “It’s not a spoiler, it’s available in more than 1 market” which apparently total less than 1% of the US population.
Sucks to be them then. I don’t think a thing needs to be changed.
And even if the returning champion is faster on the buzzer than the newcomers, that doesn’t help if he or she doesn’t know the answer.
So how much short of Ken Jennings did he fall, in terms of games in a row and total $ won?
James won 32 games and $2,462,216.
Ken Jennings 74 games with $2,520,700.
James was short 58,484
Wow, thanks!
Anyone remember Tic Tac Dough?
The defending champ always got to choose first, giving him/her a huge competitive advantage over the challenger.
My mother loved that show, I hated it because of the competitive advantage. Basically the champ got a mulligan and the challenger did not.
