It's basically online 20 Questions... this thing is wonderful.

HOW.

Whaaaat?

I beat this guy three times :P

Kazaam ruins him.

well, dammit. He caught on frighteningly fast, asking if it was small and golden around question 3

It guessed the N Ninja within 28 questions?!! Astonishing. Didn't think it would be in its database.

It gets stumped by the Tetris God though. It thinks it's /v/ from 4chan for some reason.

It got Sheba from Golden Sun in 30 questions. I'm impressed. (1000 posts woo)

It got it in 20 questions for me. o_O

Anomander Rake (Malazan Book of the Fallen)
This is unbelievable. But after a couple rounds he would get lost on the 4th-ish question everytime.

I tried doing Donfuy and it came up with "Your secret crush"

I tried doing the state of Arizona to see if he actually had it in his database. After 20 questions, he guessed "Something I don't know because it's not a character." I just hung my head in shame and clicked "Yes."

I finally got around to trying this, and it is un-fucking-believable.

Impressive successes:

• Err from Aqua Teen Hunger Force
• Brendan Frye from Brick
• JFK from Clone High
• Basil Fawlty from Fawlty Towers
• Adelai Niska from Firefly
• Jemaine Clement from Flight of the Conchords
• Batou from Ghost in the Shell (25 guesses)
• Phil Ken Sebben from Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law (30 guesses)
• The Black Knight from Monty Python and the Holy Grail (15 guesses)
• Mugen from Samurai Champloo (14 guesses)
• David from Shaun of the Dead (25 guesses)
• Johnny from The Room (24 guesses; bonus points for including "(I DID NAAHT)" in the name)
• Billy Quizboy from Venture Bros (30 guesses)
• Tordek from the 3rd Edition Dungeons & Dragons Player's Handbook (40 guesses)

Failures:

• Donna from A Scanner Darkly
• Gnaghi from Cemetery Man
• Robo-Dad from Invader Zim
• Barthélémy Karas from Renaissance
• Vexille from Vexille

Johnny from The Room (24 guesses; bonus points for including "(I DID NAAHT)" in the name)

Amazing.

Montreal Canadiens defenseman Roman Hamrlik: 4 people thought of him. o_o

This is a really cool find. The only error it got was when I chose Julius Root from the Artemis Fowl series.. it guessed yoda around question 20, after clicking keep asking it got to round 29 till it got it right.

I repeat, Amazing find ;)

Oh. My. God

nuffsaid

Wow, what the fuck.

Oh, this thing. I remember nearly the first thing I tried was the ninja and it nailed it. So floored.

EDIT: Took it only 20 questions to get Luthien Tinuviel, and the last question was "Is it part of a legendary couple?"

When I was going for Tuor it guessed Fingolfin, then Thranduil. Fuck, I barely even remember who Thranduil is. Anyway, I blew a question during that one, I think.

Trying for Thom Yorke it guessed Gary Barlow. ... and then it asked me if he played mindgames. But got him on the next guess.

EDIT2: Stumped the bastard with Nathan Hale!

I got Thom first try last week, you probably put in one of the questions wrong.

Tried Cathy Davey and stumped him after 30, disappointing.

Hm. She strikes me as an older and tamer version of Avril Lavigne.

I've tried three times and it can't get Jack Dante from Death Machine.

It got Markus Persson :)
