I saw a 'suspected' spoiler saying he loses at just under 2.5 million. If this is the case, then this guy must of taken a fall so someone else gets a chance. What do you guys think?

he's not really all as smart as people make him out to be. i've got questions right that he's gotten wrong. one of my friends competed against him from the comfort of his own home with other friends keeping track of score and he doubled ken's total.

however, it does necessitate quick reflexes to win...

but yeah, maybe he didn't get a lot of sleep the night before and so he was slow that day... maybe he came accross somebody smarter who has faster reflexes.

in any case, they need to reinstitute the 5 day limit.

He is no smarter than other people; he just buzzes in, it seems, if he thinks h at least has a shot at the answer. He does stumble over answers. There are times when he won't buzz in. But, generally, I think he reads the question before Alex finishes and buzzes it then.

There is actually a light that goes on when Alex is finished with the question - only then can you buzz in. If you try too soon, you get locked out.

A lot of Ken's success has to do with his timing; he has gotten really good at it. Of course, I dont want to discount his amazing wealth of useless facts.
