There was a good discussion on LW about Arthur Chu's performance on Jeopardy LINK - especially how he took advantage of regular patterns underlying question selection and "random" events to try and maximise his winnings.

The comment thread on that discussion also mentions other "rationalist" practices by other contestants.
