I wonder if when the IBM computer can't answer Final Jeopardy!, it responds with:


This page intentionally left blank.

Somewhere in Southern California, Harry Friedman is salivating at the opportunity to make use of this gimmick...

...Which is an enigma in itself -- if a page that's intentionally left blank has a message on it saying "This page intentionally left blank.", is it really a blank page?

Maybe it can call up a picture of Malcolm in 30 seconds.

Slightly relevant question -- has anybody kept track of how high the Malcolm Jackpot is?

Only slightly higher than his creator
