He was able to time his button presses quick enough to correspond with him stopping the board exactly where he wanted for an insane amount of spins in a row. I'd say it's similar.

Someone pointed out people taping episodes to get the timing on the buzzer down, this is the same thing Larson did on PYL. Obviously, I don't know if the people really did that in preparation of Jeopardy but it's obvious to me that a super smart person combined with the ability to time the buzzer right on will dominate Jeopardy like Ken has.
