Interesting Website/Use of Logic

A relative of mine showed me this website.


www.smalltime.com

Very Interesting to say the least. But in particular, I found one of those games fascinating.

to play go to....

www.smalltime.com/dictator

take the quiz......

it uses mathmatical principles to guess the answer that you are thinking.

What are your reactions?

Yeah, I've seen a site like this, only more open-ended. You could pick anything to start with and weren't limited to categories. It was remarkably accurate. I had to get really obscure to fool it. Shows that after enough time, you can build up a big enough database to identify anything with simple questions.

Here it is.

20Q.net is an experiment in artificial intelligence. The program is very simple but its behavior is complex. Everything that it knows and all questions that it asks were entered by people playing this game. 20Q.net is a learning system; the more it is played, the smarter it gets.
