I'm not sure why, but I find this fascinating....

Well, it took 14 questions to come up with bobcat, so it is pretty sharp. I'll type NO for the answer and see if it will suggest a lynx, since the two basicly look the same and live in the same place and see how long it takes to come up with lynx.

Took 5 mor questions for lynx, so that is a little below my expectations.

19 questions for a tomcat; again, a little slow.

OK, I stumped it on armadillo- 26 questions.

Also stumped it on collard greens... stupid program was made by a Yankee apparently.

Got it to 28, but I used an oscilloscope...not exactly a common item.

Actually, I know the guy who wrote this. He's been at it for a few years already. Was very much involved with Corel Linux and Xandros Linux, too.
He's not american.

That's hella cool, knowing a guy that can build something like this. And Collards are pretty obscure to anyone not Southron.

It's great that people are woriking on learning programs like this- it could be the best way to get a 'human' to a place like Titan. Instead of sending a flesh-and-blood person, send a computer designed to mimic human thought (since one will never really reproduce it) until we can make something that can get there fast fiesable.

what was this written in?  Is the source available?  I'd like to take a nice long look at how it works, assuming I can understand two words on how it works, hee.

lol, it guessed "ballet slippers" for diethyl ether at question 20...
"hockey puck" at 28...
totally stumped it, it occurs to me that trade specific versions of such software could be very useful.  8)

It is really weird, I really wonder haw they do it.

 Or do they have a real person taking and giving the ansewers?

 I don't really like the thought of an AI, that can predict what I'm thinking from a few simple questions :P
