    You have to try this it's freaky !

    My daughter found this web site and we have spent an hour trying to beat it, we managed it once with some obscure japanese pokemon.

    Be truthful and enjoy it's a bit additive.

    it even got Nigel Farage & Clifford the big red dog.


    Just put in a nickname ( you might have to do that twice) and age, it can take about 20 secs to load the answer.

    It just got James Hunt.

    It can be beaten.

    Only 14 questions to get to Queen Victoria and 12 to get to Steve Irwin.

    Only a few times then it admits defeat after you've told it who it was you were thinking of.

    It just got Alex Salmond in 14 questions. It's last question before guessing was 'Is your character fat?'

    It could have also asked "is your character a twat?" and got the same answer.

    Clever. It got Jay Gatsby in about 18 questions.

    ... and the singer Sandy Denny in about 26 questions with one error. Now that’s pretty obscure!

    Guessed Seth MacFarlane, Vladimir Putin and Shaggy from Scooby-Doo (LOL!)

    but foiled by



    (it guessed the helicopter pilot bird from Avatar, Michelle Rodriguez)

    Thanks for sharing, it is freaky.. It just guessed Chris Morris & I can't work out how!

  22. #22
    To be fair, although it managed to guess Andrew Flintoff and Bruce Springsteen, it didn't get Max Weinberg, Springsteen's drummer.

    In fact, it thought that Ringo Starr was a drummer. So it clearly knows nothing.
    Although no trees were harmed during the creation of this post, a large number of electrons were greatly inconvenienced.

    It got Philip Marlowe, Harry Lime, Ludwig Wittgenstein, Clausewitz and Xenophon but didn't get Caspar David Friedrich, Sir James Douglas (the Good or the Black depending upon your viewpoint) or Aymer de Valence (2nd Earl of Pembroke). Mistook The Turk for Deep Blue which is ironic.

    Kenneth Clark the art historian and Alan Clark beat it.

    Disturbingly one of the stock questions now is "has your character been involved in a sex scandal"

    Well I'm surprised that I beat it with Brian Wilson - especially bearing in mind it asked questions about brothers and being overweight. Maybe I'll give him a second try. LOL !
