Here's a 20 questions game against a computer. Actually it gets to ask up to 30 questions, but anyway...

http://q.20q.net

Noooo... It knew I was thinking of a monkey!!!

Wow, this is great [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img] ... I must outsmart it oneday...

It's pretty clever actually, it got 3 out of 4 of my objects. It didn't get handkerchief.

It got right: CD, mobile phone
It failed: a coffee cup, sound recorder, central heater, egg, laser, clock.
Guess it isn't as perfect as it seems. :D

I have to become a member?? Or can I just take the questions.

No, scroll down, there's an anonymous login.

Bozo - it got coffee mug for me on the 3rd guess - or are you only counting first guesses?

It also got egg first time for me. The questions it asks are random and it depends on your answers, but if you answer carefully, I think it can get most common objects.

I beat it, cuz it is not even on the list :D a mole [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img] the animal not the ugly things on peoples body

Well I was thinking of a egg plant and it took up to 19 question until it got it.

Thanks for the help finding the sign in. yes I am dumb. :D

Hm....with me it guessed tree, kangaroo and copper....i baffled it with "tractor" (well, sort of, it said "everything" so i said no [img]tongue.gif[/img] ) and pear

It failed to identify a roll of toilet paper the first time, but got it the 2nd time I tried it. It figured out fan very quickly 2nd time I tried it. It got report card as well, was a bit impressed by that.

Completely blew it on street light

Failed on MP3 player the 2nd time as well

Failed on passport

Failed on battery

Failed on medallion (wasn't even in the list)

EDIT: Removed links since they don't lead anywhere.

It sort of guessed 'plectrum'.. it said 'plastic' [img]tongue.gif[/img]

...And it got it the second time!!! Nice [img]smile.gif[/img]

Pfft. It couldn't guess "Bouzouki" or "fountain" or even "Harp." It claims that you can read a harp. What nonsense.

But, but, but! It was really close a few times... I'm having fun with this.

*Note: I might not have spelled "Bouzouki" correctly. If I didn't, I'm sure someone will correct me.

I'm impressed! It didn't get ironing board or calendar until the second guess, but it got orchid and shoebox on the first guess, which I thought was quite good.

It's kind of disillusioning when you see the list of 'similar' objects at the end - it's hardly playing the way a normal person would play, for instance I used Rolodex, which it did get on the second guess, but some of the 'similar objects' were piece of chalk, staple, printer cable, clay pigeon.... [img]graemlins/uhoh2.gif[/img] ;)

Hm. It's odd... It guessed "tsetse fly" correctly, but it couldn't figure out an ordinary fly... And it informed me that it didn't agree with my answers when I said that alexandrite is sometimes red and sometimes green. That's why it's expensive!

Do you suppose I've just put a little too much thought into this?

no more than I have, lol..it told me a peice of coal can not be used in a class room, but that is wrong, because we used them all the time (not for heat though ;) ) but as experiments :D

Couldn't guess Bottlecap...
It claims you can put it on your head... I think you must have a very small head to fit it in a bottle cap... [img]smile.gif[/img]

Was kinda boring test for me :/ It didnt quess anything [img]tongue.gif[/img]

you can put it on your head ;) just not fit it on there, there is a slight difference :D I should know, my kids put it on their heads all the time

..... I tried to get it to guess beer. After saying that yes, I suppose it can bring joy to people and right after saying it could be used for recreation it says:
"Is it a joint(between bones?)"

I thought it was sort of amusing. They were closer without the parenthesis... Either way.

roflmao....now that is something you do not see everyday [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

It took the computer 31 questions and 2 guesses to get my answer....which was a "vampire" :D

This is great! It didnt get mousemat though, I win, I win, I win :D

Is it a postage stamp?No
Is it a network cable?No

It did get it in the ennd though with its last ditch attempt of 40 items, with mouse pad.

I did this before.
It seems to mistakenly think that all parrots are grey :confused:

Out of fun I was thinking of a vibrator. After about fifteen questions it said:
Does your mother know what you are thinking about?
I am not allowed to talk about stuff like this, but,
I am guessing that it has something to do with sex?


EDIT:
I just saw this, and thought someone fu**ed something up:
Uncommon Knowledge about a guillotine
Is it found on a desk? I say Probably.
Does it have wings? I say Yes.
Does it have four legs? I say Yes.
Is it square shaped? I say Probably.
Can you smell it? I say Yes.
Is it a carnivore? I say Yes.
Does it come from a plant? I say Probably.
Does it get wet? I say Doubtful.
Does it have big ears? I say Probably.
Is it furry? I say Yes.
Is it made in many different styles? I say No.
Do you clean it regularly? I say Yes.
Do you use it when you write? I say Yes.
Would you eat it? I say Yes.
Is it a vegetarian? I say Yes.
Is it fluffy? I say Yes.

Great... it can guess most common objects, and vegetables too...
great use for a neural network, or at least I tthink that's what it is....

I got the same thing when trying to get it to guess about cocaine [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

After a couple of other games, it started getting my answer with just one gues....damn [img]graemlins/fight.gif[/img]

I picked a human, and it took it 28 questions.

i picked a paper clip.. took 29 questions

and its Contradictions

A paper clip is not multicolored
You would not give a paper clip as a gift

Why not??? [img]tongue.gif[/img] :D

well i was also being a little naughty [img]tongue.gif[/img] . and it contradicted me in saying that it cant be used in school.. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

edit: last but not the least :D . i actually updated thier knowledge base i think.. i was thinking of a highlighter.. it wasnt in any of the choiced.. whoo hoo..
