Anyone else ever play this game? Thought it was kinda neat. Not that impressive but killed a little time. 😕

Not bad. Hopefully it will get smarter over time. It didn't do very well when I played with it.

It's all in the answers. Some questions I wasn't sure what the right answer was so it took more than 20 questions.

Edit: I'll just ignore that last part shall I 😉

It guessed the game of chess in 19 questions. And here's some interesting information about chess:

Similar Objects
a fetish, a fantasy, a chess set, poker (card game), breast milk, dancing*, a backgammon game, romance, a feather boa, a costume, a baseball field, a sin.

Uncommon Knowledge about the game of chess
Is it black? I say Yes.
Is it taught in school? I say Probably.
Can it save your life? I say Yes. <Wow!>
Is it independent? I say Yes.
Does it bite? I say Yes. <Ouch!>
Does it live in groups (gregarious)? I say Yes.

* I guess that explains all the dancing avatars

I tried it with "lamp" and got "You said it is classified as Mineral, I say Other."

The game has pretty strange opinions about lamps; for example, you won't find a lamp on a farm, it's not outside, it's not round, it's not heavy... And some similar objects are seeing eye dogs and ramen noodles. 😉

I had to try that, too - it got it in 16! 🙂 There was only one contradiction - "Was it used over 100 years ago? You said Irrelevant, I say Yes." "Used" doesn't quite seem to fit.
