'Jeopardy' Millionaire Is Smart, but Is He a Genius?
by noteworthy at 1:43 am EDT, Jul 22, 2004

You've got to be bright and quick to win at "Jeopardy." You have to know a lot of things. And although the game is not chess in terms of complexity, or even checkers, there do seem to be some elements of strategy.

But while everyone would agree you need smarts, is that the same thing as intelligence? For that matter, what do we really mean by intelligence?

In addition to his quick recall, Ken Jennings has also demonstrated lightning speed at solving anagrams. Perhaps this might be called "puzzle intelligence."

At least a few MemeStreams users are known to have high levels of "puzzle intelligence."
