Beat it with Twigs from Tree Fu Tom.
The joys of having a three year old!
Cheers,
I think this is the question that trips itself up: Does your character play in a band with their brother?
Brian's brothers Carl and Dennis, co-founder members of the Beach Boys passed away in 1983 and 1998.
So the correct now answer is 'No'.
Anyway, it got it wrong a second time. LOL !!

Beat it with Idris Elba who I thought would be easy?
If you beat it it checks your answer and adds to it's database so I guess it can only get better the more it's used.
Greasy little time killer, thanks.
It seems to have mixed up General Sir Redvers Buller with Gordon of Khartoum.

It got Wallace from Wallace and Gromit but didn't get Gromit
It didn't know Alick Jeffrey.
It does now.

I'd hate to be with you when you're on your own.
Akinator- "Has your character ever been accused of sexual offences"
Me- "Yes"
Jochen Rindt in 23 Qs
Ada Lovelace in 25
Didn't get Donald Healey
Green gartside defeated it.
I tried it a while a go...
I thought I'd really got it stumped with Eddie, the dog from Frasier...
..how wrong I was...
It also just got Speedy Gonzales
Tricked it, never got Kenneth Horne.
Daughters are very impressed as it knows all the characters from My Little Pony, although I did have to explain that, to the best of my knowledge, Twilight Sparkle has never been involved with pornography!
It got an easy one Larry Ellison CEO Oracle but it took 25 questions!
Tried DJ Dave Pearce "roll another phat one" and couldn't get it with 75+ tries!
Norton just blocked a malicious attack whilst on the site.
maseman
Max Planck - theoretical physicist 80+ questions 4 failed attempt pah!
Then it asks you who you were thinking about- to add to its database the more you play the better it gets!
It couldn't get Gen. Heinz Weidling who surrendered Berlin to the Russians in WWII. It was close but kept picking the wrong general! First it guessed Paulus, then Manstein. Fun little game though.
My first college programming assignment was to code this game... it had to walk through its store of people and objects, then ask what questions it could have asked to help narrow the field if it didn't know who or what you were thinking of. Simpler times :)
Very good but had to laugh at this sequence of questions:
Genie: Is this character human?
Me: No
Genie: Is this character a lesbian?
Very good but finally got it stumped with Lord Alanbrooke!
"I looked with pity not untinged with scorn upon these trivial-minded passers-by"
I've beaten it a few times - albeit with obscure names such as Pick Withers, the original Dire Straits drummer.
it failed completely with Sir Ranulph Twisleton-Wykeham-Fiennes! guessed at Phil the power taylor? and jim Davidson among others
Pretty cool...
It got Roald Dahl, but after i said he was a deceased Norwegian/British, ex pilot who wrote children's books it still asked about 4 more seemingly unrelated questions before guessing correctly!
Well after 70 questions it tried Philip Green and Peter Stringfellow but no, Mr Platts had it beat!
Although he does appear on its list of characters!
Stumped it with my first two... I think he's tired after you lot have given him a hammering.
Stumped him first go with Captain Nemo from 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. So it can be done.
It got Paul Atreides but missed Claude Auchinleck.
Good game though.
Heh - it differentiated "Kvothe", from the Name of the Wind, with the question "Is he a pub singer?" ;)
I was also briefly stumped by the question "Was this character a Muslim?" when the person I was thinking of was Muhammad...

It guessed Kriss Akabusi for me but missed Jimmy Krankie - suggested Aunt Sally instead. If only it had asked about swinging...
It only seems to have the name of two Irish actors in the database; David Kelly and Brendan Gleason. So much for TP McKenna.
You'll have your work cut out beating this thing....
check this....
then....
and finally....
Full house genie!!!!
Guessed Kirk Brandon in 43 questions at the second attempt. Fairly impressive although it's first guess was Simon LeBon...disgraceful.
The midfield maestro that is Wes Hoolahan in 24.
Amazed
Paul
Pah! Stupid genie failed to get Graeme Crosby.
Added to his list though so I guess it has "learnt" this one now.
Bernie Madoff in 25 - very impressive !
I defeated him with the ex Bristol City and WBA player Bob Taylor, but apart from that he's always got mine.
Doesn't like 70's racing drivers
Jacky Ickx is hardly obscure - think it got confused with Ferrari and French speaking - Jean Alesi was it's guess

It didn't get Calvin Smith - it guessed Carl Lewis (which is what I was hoping tbh) 1st time around and then Ed Moses 2nd time.
I beat it first time with buzz aldrin. Game thought neil armstrong!
It didn't get Neuton Piccoli - but DID get Ronnie Moore!
