Title: 20q.net
Post by: iago on February 26, 2004, 08:22 AM
http://www.20q.net - this is a game of 20-questions which can guess, fairly accurately, what you're thinking.

A good one my friend did was "Bomb"

"I didn't know that bomb couldn't be used in school."

Here's something more slightly more specific but similar to 20q.  It's called, "Guess the Dictator / Sit-Com Character".  Here's the URL for anyone interested:

http://www.smalltime.com/dictator/

Be patient if it's slow.  The first question eliminates about half the database, so it takes a bit.

I don't like that one.  It just kept asking me, "does he star?  does he star?  etc.".. not nearly as good as 20q :)

It mostly has to do with it (the game) losing and asking for a question specific to the person or character that the player has in mind.

It was better a month or so ago.  I wish they'd wipe it clean and start over.  But you can help by flagging stupid questions (for being too specific, etc.).

Neat. It couldn't get mine - anti-perspirant :)

Played again with 'Gun', and got this little gem:

Uncommon Knowledge about a gun
Do you know any songs about it? I say Yes.
Can you open it? I say Yes.
Would you pay to use it? I say Yes.
Would you use it in the dark? I say Probably.
Is it considered valuable? I say Yes.
Do you carry it in your pocket? I say Yes.
Is it shaped like a hot dog? I say Yes.
Is it worth a lot of money? I say Yes.
Can you pet it? I say Probably.
Is it considered man's best friend? I say Probably.
Is it symbolic? I say Probably.
Is it cold blooded? I say Yes.
Does it have a title? I say Probably.
Does it have a bushy tail? I say Yes.
Does it exist in other dimensions? I say Yes.
Does it have writing on it? I say Yes.

So, guns are cold-blooded bushy-tailed friends of mankind. woo~

You're dumb like a rock. A panda is a carnivore. (http://www.redlist.org/search/details.php?species=712) You give the system wrong answers, so what do you expect it to do, read your mind?

You really don't know how to answer questions. With your other link of a gun, you answered that a gun is "colorful" and "multicolored" and can be found in an office, none of which are very true ("doubtful" would be the best answers).

That's nice.

It's still in the Carnivora family, whether you wish to accept it or not.
