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.

You were thinking of a hand gun.
Can you play with it? You said No, I say Yes.

Let's hope this thing doesn't develope real intelligence.  :o

Damn good find!

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.

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
