**moomoomoo** · October 22nd, 2004

What were you thinking? A small french politician or something? It's success rate is quite high.

**_E_** · October 23rd, 2004

Personal PC, it first guessed it as a Projector then a video recoder

Yours,

**DarkAurora** · October 23rd, 2004

Didn't we already have a thread about this before?

I beat it too. It couldn't guess I was thinking a surround sound system.

Edit: Woah! It guessed on the first try I was thinking anime. o_o

Narrrf · October 23rd, 2004

I beat it with doorstop and dictionary.

**moomoomoo** · October 23rd, 2004

You were thinking of a dictionary.

Maybe you didn't answer it very well :P

DarkAurora, possibly, I haven't seen it though. My bad.

The first time it guessed a video game while I was thinking of my DC in 20 questions.

The second one was harder: It said Ice cream at q20 but it turned out to be beer at the 27th

hellmasterx · October 23rd, 2004

i lose whit a pc but i beat it with a chair.

LordXeno · October 23rd, 2004

I win! It failed at guessing noodles :P

Edit: I won at 'topaz' too, but it won at Sapphire.

caipirinha · October 23rd, 2004

I won when thinking about a human being. because it disagreed with me that humans can be black, and that they can be vegetarian.

wtf only white humans o.O

Mako Eyes · October 23rd, 2004

..o.O

that thing can be so good it's sometimes scary.

I tried it a few months ago and it guessed Superman, Kryptonite, Batman, Spiderman, and Tyrannosaurus Rex in under 20 questions. Someone must have a DAMN lot of time on their hands to program the likes of that.

AFAIK, it learns from everything that someone tells it. It just records the data and compares it to the next person's thing. Once you tell it what you were thinking of it'll remember that that thing matches what you told it.
