Yeah, I've been watching him play--amazing. I've onl seem him come close to losing once, but by close I mean he didn't develop a 2x lead until the very end :). My mom, who is extremely good at Jeopardy (and IMO should try to go on it some day), is nothing compared to this guy. I'm thinking his secret is his reflexes, actually. He seems to always be able to ring in before everyone else. He has the buzzer timed perfectly. And I'm sure it also helps to almost never be wrong, too :D

Ken used to play Quiz Bowl for Brigham Young, and he writes questions alot like the Jeopardy ones for high-school QB tournaments (about the same difficulty stuff). It's no coincidence he knows the answer all the time.
