Check out this little web game. You think of a character, either real or fiction, it asks you twenty questions and guesses what it is. I have yet to stump it. Amazing! Have fun!

I stumped it with Bobby Hull, but it got Nikola Tesla and Stephen Harper (Canadian Prime Minister).

nostalgia · Jan 24, 2010

This thing is ridiculous. It got Queequeg from Moby Dick and Bartimaeus from the Bartimaeus trilogy. Insane.

I hate this game.. I only beat it guessing the cast of Legends of the Seeker (thank to NetFlix wife and I are watching it now as we pass the laptop back and forth guessing people now..)

dwarven_stout · Jan 24, 2010

Took it 26 guesses to get Kilroy, of Kilroy Was Here fame.

gplutt · Jan 25, 2010

Took it a bit, but he worked out Michael Jackson, Beer Hunter.

tony4444 · Jan 25, 2010

LOL I'm glad you all like it!

dunnright00 · Jan 25, 2010

Wow, It got Maurice Moss from the IT Crowd twice. Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes, and Waldo (Where's Waldo) and then Jeff Tweedy from Wilco.

My wife stumped it with Lucy Snowe from Villette and Kitty from Anna Karinnina.

GateTwelve · Jan 25, 2010

I stumped it on the first try. It didn't get close to Mathurin Kerbouchard, the main character in the Louis L'Amour novel, The Walking Drum.

jkarp · Jan 25, 2010

It's failed at everything I've thrown at it. Maybe I think weird. All from H2G2:

Babelfish
Slartibartfast
Benjy Mouse
Hotblack Desiato

Homercidal · Jan 25, 2010

Can't play. It says I need to try again in a few minutes. You guys get off! It's my turn!

babalu87 · Jan 25, 2010

He doesnt know Hanrahan

tony4444 · Jan 25, 2010

It took 32 questions to get Soren Kierkegaard. Not bad considering...

babalu87 · Jan 25, 2010

or
Gerry Cheevers
Charlie Papazian

IrregularPulse · Jan 25, 2010

It actually guessed Courage the cowardly Dog!

tony4444 · Jan 25, 2010

I was chatting with a guy who played this back in 07 when it first started. He said that it is capable of learning. That it is a lot better now that it has learned so much. Imagine what it can do in ten years or so...Skynet? Call Arnie?

mmb · Jan 25, 2010

Critter couldn't figure out Simon Snowlock from Tad Williams's Memory, Sorrow and Thorn trilogy.

Ashz · Jan 25, 2010

Stumped it with Severian from The Book of the New Sun. It did get the first three I threw at it fairly easily. It even guessed Ani Difranco eventually.

lustreking · Jan 25, 2010

Stumped it with Derek Smalls, but it did guess Nigel Tufnel on it's first try, which is pretty close.

A little later I tried again, and it learned who he was.
