Check this out.... It's a computer playing 20 questions with you.

http://y.20q.net:8095/

Try it, it's pretty neat! It guessed "raindrop" in 16 questions, and "carrot" in about 10.

*NOTE: It may be busy...if so try back later. It's worth the trip.
 
Pretty cool Goober! I played the game three times and in each case they determined what I had picked in less than 12 questions! The best one was in 2 questions. The computer guessed Alien by asking me if:

a) Was it an animal.
b) Was it a moron.

Wow. Pretty impressive.

It got plantain in 18, gecko in 17. It did NOT guess carrillon.

Doughnut in 19...

Lotsa fun!
 
I'm sorry, I failed the Turing Test.
 
WOW...even MORE impressive...

1. Was it Other?
2. Is it NOT funny?
3. Is it an asshat?
4. Does it like pie?

It guessed GOOBER, then said it knew his mom too.
 
Hehe. A new record.

1. Was it Mineral?
2. Is it an SP? yes.

And it guessed Meesh.
 
Good Game

Thank you Goober.

This is definitely a link I shall save in my favourites - I actually managed to stump it on Brooch (an item of jewellry); Kohlrabi (a vegetable) and it took 28 guesses to reach Loofah; unfortunately pumice stone and, dare I say it, tampon were guessed in 20 and 18 respectively.

Now I've something to play whilst waiting for those pies to finish baking.

No You Didn't Beat It!

I beat it

BTW i had picked "AIR"... at the end, it asks you to pick when it gives up... I would not tell it that i had picked "AIR"... that is how it learns

It has trouble with abstract concepts.. like nothing, everything, infinity, FAITH..etc

WIYD:

Actually, I don't think you did beat it, you bent the rules of the game - right at the beginning you are asked to pick an "object" and in all honesty abstract concepts, such as air, faith, etc., cannot, unless my schooling was all wrong, be classified as objects.

Definition of object according to the Oxford Paperback Dictionary:

object: n; (1) something solid that can be seen or touched; (2) a person or thing to which some action or feeling is directed, an object of pity; (3) a purpose or an intention ..... etc.

I didn't realise it was a porn site...;)

It didn't have "Orgasm" in it's database...what good is it?

It did get "Toilet Brush" in 14 questions...pretty cool.

Zog.
 
It gives up after about 25 questions.

Carbon it now knows.
 
This is cool!

It's pretty good at picking up on standard household objects. It's not so good when the item is more abstract.

I tried it with "Stripper" and it did not have it on-file. However, it was really entertaining when it asked the question: "can you put something into it?"

:D
