I'd rather play "Ask Watson Anything"

  I wish they would put him up as a webapp. It may not be economical to have a supercomputer online that can only answer one question at a time -- but they might find enough overlap that he could start caching frequent requests or even queuing requests as necessary. Or better yet, scale slowly by invite only.

    Why do you assume he can only answer one question at a time?

      It would have been better phrased as: how many questions per second can watson handle. And I think the answer is, not a whole lot, maybe even less than 1.

  That would be great. Three days ago there was a comment with a back of the envelope calculation to get to the cost of running Watson: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2218212 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2218212
