Okay, admittedly, I exaggerated a wee bit. But honestly, would anyone have checked it out if I had said "Oh yeah. Here's this lame 20 questions thing that you can stump if you try hard, but not that hard"? Plus, now it will probably guess outdoor deck, wooden ladder, etc. (I think). And since me and a bunch of people managed to waste two hours with the thing, someone else ought to have too, right?

On a completely unrelated matter, Redbull gives you wings:

Well... its not like Paras programmed it. In any event. It guessed oven mitt for 'tea cozy' but it guessed shield for the ladder. What the Fuck? or in internet speak WOTF! you OD-BSCD hmm... that reminds me... might you already have it?

yeah i stumped the program with a matrix, though it came close with statistics.

hey paras,

I stumped it with an outdoor deck, mascara and a photograph. But yeah, I was intrigued. And entertained for far longer than I'll admit to.

later!

Hey Paras, My dad and I stumped that 20 questions bot with 'wooden ladder' and 'tea cozy'. Take that!

Hey Ed and Paras,

Did you ever notice that there was a coupon for Pacesetters at the back of last year's course calendar? Unfortunately, the bastards had 'em expire before we could've used them. And they did it again in this year's calendar, too! Same deal, same expiry!

Okay, I realize that my "try to stump this" message doesn't really do justice to this thing. It's a game of 20 questions. But this thing is unreal. It can get just about anything. It got Rubik's Cube! Basically, the more people who play it, the better it gets at guessing stuff. Try it out. It is an accomplishment to stump it. You can even put wrong answers for some questions and it will still get it. Check it out:
