There still are some kinks to be worked out to say the least.

Yeah, here's Baltimore:

<big>It is Baltimore, MD.</big>
Is it found in a cold climate? You said Sometimes, 20Q was taught by other players that the answer was Doubtful.
Is it on the coast? You said No, 20Q was taught by other players that the answer was Yes.

It doubts Baltimore sometimes has cold weather? And I personally don't think of the Chesapeake Bay as coastal.

It also seems to think English is the official language of the US.

And now, it's saying Maryland is smaller than New York City.

And the new king:

I'm glad the computer eliminated the bicycle riding football players.

Re: 20 Questions

Damn it got Lloyd Christmas after 17, and Carl Winslow after 18!

It didn't get Bill Callahan, and Bo Pelini wasn't in their database. Got Eric Crouch on the last chance though! And Harry Caray on the 20th!

I love how this thing is so far off, asking irrelevent questions, and then BOOM it comes up with the right answer out of nowhere!

See, thats the thing with these sites. They ask you lots of questions. And...and...when you answer those questions, BOOM! You get the answers right there on the page.

I'm pretty sure it goes through your internet sites like the "find girls in " sites.

I wanted to believe it was really powered by magic gnomes, but with no specific parameters, it's come up with 3 straight Auburn players, and cycles through "The Wire" characters for me.

Re: 20 Questions

Got Tom Brady on the 14th question. Got Tony Stewart on the 24th question.

Pretty impressive. But this is no secret to me: My kids have the 20Q handheld toy. The thing beats us almost every time.

Take care,
PK

How does the toy compare to the web version? Is it exact?
