It took 29 guesses plus 15 unknowns to get "algorithm." It is not that great.

It got algorithm in 19 questions for me.

It's pretty good considering an average person probably doesn't know what an algorithm is.

If you think the AI is in any way lacking or flawed, the only way to fix it is to play again. =)

Heh, I should write a bunch of informative essays based on "facts" recorded in this AI.

"Honey, I'm done planting the speakers in the garden. It took a while because they were crying. The CD family next door just got done with their book hiking trip and wanted to know if I'd come along cup hunting with them. We'll have to hurry before the sandwich bags eat all the good ones."

Not a new thing...there's a link on bored.com leading to a site that guesses a movie or TV show you're thinking of.

I bet people come through and purposefully mess it up or something. Either that or people are dumb (or the AI sucks).

It got starship Enterprise in 25 questions, which is pretty decent.

After 20 it guessed battleship, which is pretty good too.

I'll bet I could get Starship Enterprise in no more than 5 questions :D

Holy shit, that's in there?! I thought it didn't do proper names? I wonder if it'll have Niagara Falls . . .

Well I say Stasrhip Enterprise, it just got starship per se really.
