Akinator The Genius - Page 2

pbot · 07-02-2011, 09:59 PM

Lloyd Christmas - 19 questions.

Izulde · 07-02-2011, 10:03 PM

Jim from American Pie in 19. Nicely done.

pbot · 07-02-2011, 10:05 PM

Lightning McQueen - 12

cuervo72 · 07-02-2011, 10:07 PM

Bill McNeil - 29 questions. It got it after the question "Is your character still alive?"

hoopsguy · 07-02-2011, 10:33 PM

Lt Colonel Nathan Jessup in about 20 questions, after incorrectly guessing Frank Abignale about 5 questions earlier. Played just under 300 times.

19 questions for Bill Simmons, played over 1,000 times.

29 questions for Mr Sinister from X-Men comics, after a wrong guess (around 20) for some character from Crash Bandicoot. Played just under 300 times.

Beat him on "One Armed Man" from Fugitive, although the character was in the database.

18 questions for Michael Irvin, played just over 400 times.

So based on my extremely small sample set, this program does better with sports players than movie characters. Of course, that could also owe to me having more definitive answers to the questions asked about real people as opposed to movie roles where I had to speculate from time to time (more "probably/probably not" answers).

Picked one I thought would be easy, and it was - 16 questions for Don Draper, played over 3,000 times. I knew it was ending soon when questions like "is he a womanizer" and "does the show take place in New York" came up

36 questions for Mr. Slate, thought the jig was up after question about character being "barefoot" came up but took a couple more after that. Played 302 times. I'm wondering how hard it is to come up with a character that has been played single digit times.

fpres · 07-02-2011, 10:38 PM

Buckaroo Banzai in 32 Q's

lighthousekeeper · 07-02-2011, 10:40 PM

Snorks (around 24 questions) actually I was going for Casey Kelp of the Snorks, but it guess the generic Snorks as the answer.

fpres · 07-02-2011, 10:44 PM

Red Shirt (Star Trek) in 37 Q's. Nice.

fpres · 07-02-2011, 10:51 PM

Peri (Perpugilliam) Brown from Doctor Who in 21 Q's. I'm truly impressed.

JonInMiddleGA · 07-02-2011, 10:52 PM

Wife & kid are now playing

Zelda Fitzgerald took 28 (and a missed guess of Erma Bombeck)
Three-Dog (from Fallout 3) in 19
Big Daddy (from BioShock) in 15
Guy Montag (from Fahrenheit 451) in 21 (the 1,134th try)

Izulde · 07-02-2011, 11:53 PM

Mew in 12 questions, one of my lowest totals yet.

Tigercat · 07-02-2011, 11:57 PM

Got the Slurm queen from futurama in right around 20 questions, James Buchanan in right around 10. Feels weird being this impressed over something that is 90% pop culture oriented, but it is impressive.

Izulde · 07-03-2011, 12:09 AM

Holy shit. 17 for Brandi from Storage Wars.

Izulde · 07-03-2011, 12:42 AM

Dennis Rodman - 13 questions
Horatio Nelson - 16 questions
Mr. Rochester - 24 with one wrong guess
Dan Marino - 16

A bunch of others I've forgotten.

So far the only two it's missed on where the database already had the character entered was Haggar the Witch from Voltron and the Wu general Taishi Ci from Romance of the Three Kingdoms, where it was in the right ballpark on all of its guesses, but couldn't quite seal the deal.

stevew · 07-03-2011, 01:06 AM

Shit....it found Joel Anthony.

Izulde · 07-03-2011, 01:11 AM

Added a third stumper: Catherine Barkley, who was third on his list of next guesses.

mckerney · 07-03-2011, 03:43 AM

Commander Keen in 18 questions, Commander Video in 39.

mckerney · 07-03-2011, 03:53 AM

It did not know Joe Garrelli.

SteveMax58 · 07-03-2011, 05:52 AM

Wow...can't believe Ann Darrow had only been played 31 times.

Took 51 questions but it asked a couple of them multiple times and a few which were complete opposites that didnt make sense. Like I answered Yes to it being a female, but it asked me if the character was an adult man. It also asked me at least 3 times if the character lives in the United States, or is an American citizen, and does the character live in the same country as I do. I thought that was kinda silly.

Overall...pretty cool though.

spleen1015 · 07-03-2011, 06:37 AM

I didn't count how many questions, but it guessed Fox Mulder first, then it correctly guessed Jimmy McNulty.

ColtCrazy · 07-03-2011, 07:31 AM

14 questions to get Arthur Dent. Wow.

fpres · 07-03-2011, 07:41 AM

30 questions to get to Carly Foulkes (T-Mobile Girl), after guessing Flo (Progressive Insurance Girl) on Q #17.

ColtCrazy · 07-03-2011, 07:45 AM

Stumped it on Ryo (Tiny) from Battle of the Planets...although twice he did guess other characters from the series, that one wasn't in the data base.

fpres · 07-03-2011, 07:46 AM

Leon Trotsky in 14 Q's

miked · 07-03-2011, 08:24 AM

Wowza...about 15 questions for Jeriba 'Jerry' Shigan (Louis Gossett Jr. in Enemy Mines).

JAG · 07-03-2011, 09:09 AM

Stumped him with R'hllor (not in database) and Nate Newton (in database). Got Jor-El in 26.

Wolfpack · 07-03-2011, 09:36 AM

Eric Staal in 20
Mike Wazowski in 19
Lorenzo Charles in 40
Jack Ryan in 23
Alfred Pennyworth in 20
Alan Rickman in 25
Stumped it with Kevin Duckworth (though apparently it knew of him, but I guess my answers kept him from going in that direction)

Jeremy Goodwin - Did not get
Eric Taylor - 27 (Guessed Danny Tanner)
Hoban "Wash" Washburne - 19
Bender (Futurama) - 13
Orko - 17
Neville Longbottom - 13

ColtCrazy · 07-03-2011, 12:56 PM

16 for Elizabeth Bennett.
19 for Del Griffith
13 for Hong Kong Phooey

Going to try some British characters next.

ntndeacon · 07-03-2011, 01:11 PM

it did not get Gutman from the Maltese Falcon, though it was in its lists

oykib · 07-03-2011, 01:49 PM

37 questions for Aqualad. It guessed wrong twice.

JonInMiddleGA · 07-03-2011, 02:02 PM

Took 27 to get Jim Ross (guessed Bob Costas at 21)

britrock88 · 07-03-2011, 02:08 PM

I went for it with Harold and Maude. I was impressed that it got to Maude in 19. Harold, though... it took 38 questions and 3 wrong guesses (including the accusation that I wasn't thinking of anyone at all!).

stevew · 07-03-2011, 04:28 PM

Didnt get Mason from Surviving the Game. It was in there, so I may have answered a few questions wrong. Did get Jodie Fosters character from Panic Room.

ColtCrazy · 07-04-2011, 08:29 AM

Okay, British TV character time...

19 to get Basil Fawlty (Fawlty Towers)
27 to get Mr. Humphries (Are You Being Served)
29 to get Rik (Young Ones)

Impressive.

Eaglesfan27 · 07-04-2011, 07:09 PM

I stumped him with John Carter (ER.) It kept focusing on characters from House even though I said it was a show that was off the air which I found amusing.
