for predicting the outcome of the U.S. presidential
election the following year.
The computer predicted an Eisenhower landslide when
traditional pollsters all called it for Stevenson.

computer was not responsive, and announced it was
predicting 8-7 odds for an Eisenhower win.
The actual prediction was 100-1.
When the prediction proved true and Eisenhower won by
a landslide within 1% of the original forecast, Charles
