20 questions

A website that will guess what "thing" you're thinking about in 20 questions (sometimes a couple more).

It couldn't guess: vegetable, mineral, animal and broadband. But it got close!

That is really cool...

 

HOLY! this IS cool! i thought about speakers and then a mouse. both were guessed by the AI!

 

somebody try "geek"
the questions they ask was "does it get wet?" or something like that...
How am i supposed to answer that?

 

yea. .I won
with
Induction heater
It didn't even guess the "heater" part

silly little game

 

I would think the game was designed for single word known by average joe type of stuff, "induction heater" is not that of a common entity nor would it be even known by everyone also hence the fact that it has 2 words.
I picked ghost, it got to it at the 29th guess...but the 'close' option helps it big time I am sure. Still pretty interesting.

But the funniest part was the game's additional notes at the end:

Uncommon Knowledge about a ghost:
Does it taste good fried? I say Probably.

 

Suggestions

If you would like some suggestions of what to pick, the game recommends the following:
The game is having trouble with . . .
a carrot, an elephant, an unknown, a transformer (electrical), a vacuum pump.
The most popular . . .
a guitar, a stapler, a television set, a monkey, a cigarette.
Some things chosen at random . . .
microchip, pudding, a miniature schnauzer, a tampon, dirt

it was still fun
