The $1,000 clue shouldn't be cheaped up to be as hard as a $600 when you add in the word play and whatnot, but you're also doing a TV show, and if the $1,000 clues are not only the most difficult but so hard to comprehend that the viewers tune out, that doesn't work either.

If they're going to do this, it should be under lab conditions, but I would be interested to see if the game changes as a result.

I can't think of any way for it not to be, other than maybe a stunt week in October similar to BtS or normal celeb weeks.

I meant to agree with Chris: the questions shouldn't be changed to help or hinder the computer program. Whether it plays against Ken Jennings and Frank Spangenberg or the next two players on the contestant roll is up to the show.
