Well, it took a lot of questions, but arrived at the right answer in the end!

Well, it guessed Hitler OK... if I knew more about Pinochet, I might've tried him...

I tried him yesterday and it got him right also

It didn't get the car, from My mother the Car.90% of people say who? Never mind, I'm old.

Is this the show?

This thing is quite addictive, not to mention fun to see how many people have already picked certain characters.

I haven't stumped it yet with Herman Munster (702), Tabitha Stevens (499), Barney Fife (170), Daisy Duke (129), or Top Cat (174).

Actually this program has been around for many years as a demonstration of how the computer can "learn" to ask the right questions. The traditional version you'll find in programming manuals from 30 years ago was "Guess the Animal."

Managed to beat it twice. Anyone remember a cop show from the late seventies called Holmes and YoYo?

YoYo was an android. Only seemed to run for a couple of series but it was one of those programs a 9 year old boy loved.

This thing is good. It got mine.

It got me as Doug Heffernan from "King of Queens" but it could not guess me as Ward Cleaver from "Leave it to Beaver" it guessed the Father from "My three sons"

It is pretty cool.

It just got me as "Will Robinson" from "Lost in Space"

I am impressed.


NOW IT'S TAUNTING ME!

I'll get it yet.
