this thing really fucking ownz at 20 questions, it's got some ridiculously obscure stuff for me. Mainly cos you can teach it characters and obviously people try things they think are obscure first to test it.
i played this for a while. i'm pretty impressed with how well this thing works. for anybody widely well-known, it'll guess it right away. i had hamlet and charles foster kane as my first two and it got it right away without it asking any particularly specific questions. i was pretty surprised to see it also get terry gilliam, lord byron, noam chomsky, and walter matthau. i stumped it on peter cook, crispus attucks, bartleby, howard beale, and frank stallone though.
i do appreciate that it kept trying to give me l. ron hubbard en route to figuring out philip k. dick. that is a very logical connection.
