Meh.

It failed to get Ira Flatow.


But it did get d'Artagnan, which was impressive (as it was asking me if he was an Anime character right before it guessed. lolwut?)

:olo: the questions leading up to Flying Spaghetti Monster...

"Is your character associated w/ food?"
"does your character fly?"


Also, credit for getting The Stig, Methuselah, and Scheherazade. :up:


edit: seems to be better at getting fictional characters than real people. Either that, or it doesn't know radio hosts. It failed with Carl Kasell. And Rosalind Franklin.

Couldn't get Ernie Pyle, and it asked if it was female 3 times :/

I imagine it works great for most people not willing to think of someone fairly obscure. Really, the list of characters and people that most users would think of should be fairly small.

H.I. McDonnough?! Not obscure?

:disgust:

Edit. It got me. I was thinking of me. I am obscure. :smirk:

It couldn't guess Vitruvius, Hippodamus of Miletus, or Xerxes.

But it guessed Miikka Kiprusoff, Erwin Rommel, Roger Waters, and Mika Hakkinen. Pretty awesome :ninja:
