20 questions (smart computer!)

This thing can guess almost anything as long as you know the right information about what you are thinking of. It will tell you that you are wrong at the end if you lie to it. It will even guess abstract things.

I was able to get it to run up to 23 questions on a large African rodent called a Capybara.

Took 18 to guess a grain of sand. But it didn't say "grain of sand", just "sand".

It couldn't get sperm. I classified it as an animal, and it guessed lingerie and then gold, diamond, give up.
Some of the questions had me laughing.

Re: 20 questions (smart computer!)

I picked a stye, as I woke with one on my eyelid this morning. At 29 guesses the computer guessed pimple which I accepted as a similar answer, and at the bottom of the page it gave me questionable "uncommom knowledge about a pimple." I laughed though when I read the second line from the bottom.

Uncommon Knowledge about a pimple
Can you play with it? I say Yes.
Is it shiny? I say Probably.
Is it tapered? I say Probably.
Is it used for transportation? I say Probably.
Is it spontaneous? I say Yes.
Does it have scales? I say Probably.
Is it black and white? I say Probably.
Can you speak into it? I say Probably.
Can you mash it? I say Yes.
Is it native to Asia? I say Probably.
Is it spotted? I say Probably.
Does it have tough skin? I say Probably.
Is it fluffy? I say Yes.
Does it have spots? I say Yes.
Is it used in Oriental cooking? I say Yes.
Does it have bumpy skin? I say Yes.

Re: 20 questions (smart computer!)

ROFL. I tried to have it guess "cockring" -- some highlights:

-- Would you find it on a farm? (no)
-- Is it comforting? (irrelevant)

Final guess:
"I am guessing that it is a pearl necklace" ---

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

And finally....

"Similar Objects
a diamond ring, a thimble, a platinum ring, a pearl necklace, a ring, a pentacle, tap shoes, an engagement ring, a medal, jacks (child's game), a melon baller, a pizza cutter."

A melon baller.... !!!! hahahaaaaa
