What is H&R Block?

That's the question to the Joepardy clue: Most of this firm's 70,000 seasonal white-collar employees work only four months a year. However, Ken Jennings didn't get that today -- but he still made history by earning a total of $2,522,700 in his 75 consecutive appearance in the popular game show "Jeopardy". Wikipedia has the details.

Who says being a nerd doesn't pay? :)
