I'm putting this one in the Diversions box at the top.

Play 20 questions with a computer--it learns as you answer questions.

I have stumped the computer completely with "banana" (It has lots of strange ideas about bananas), the computer won with "radio," and I won, but the computer finally guessed "marimba." VERY FUN!

20 Questions

[> It got me on tapir! I thought that was a suitably obscure animal...but clearly not obscure enough. I'm gonna try Sea Cucumber...hee hee :) I don't feel quite so bad for wasting time on this though, because I'm pretty sure it uses decision trees. We learned about those in AI... -- Canrane - "studying" for her AI final, 12:53:41 04/12/05 Tue [1]

Hi C. I played and it could not guess my object. I had selected an eraser. Then it complained that I answered the questions wrong. For example, I had answer it makes people happy; it said I should have said no. But it made me happy when I could erase my wrong answer and write the correct one.
