Can you beat the Akinator?

[flobadob]

This is a fun game were you think of someone famous and are then asked a series of yes/no answers and then the Akinator tries to guess who you are thinking of, usually within 20 questions, though it can go to 40 before giving up. We found it quite addictive. http://uk.akinator.com/#

Did you not post this a couple of weeks ago?

[cazzz1975]

I beat him, which was a shame, I was hoping he would beat me

[boxtops]

I can't get it going (although I've played it before) when I click on Play Now, I get some website for Tara's Psychic readings....

[boxtops]

Oh I see, I'm clicking the wrong Play Now - I've got it now

[boxtops]

Damn, he got it in 12...

[boxtops]

Ha! he took 38 to beat me that time!

[pastafreak]

Oh bloody heck....that's good!

must think of someone more obscure......

He took ages to get Noddy, Rupert Bear next.

[flobadob]

It guessed Noddy for me on the 20th Q jom.

[jomifl]

I beat him/her/ it with Bill the Badger

[jomifl]

and Noggin the Nog

[seadogg]

It didn't know who Thomas Malthus was.

[tenrec]

Does this site learn? In other words, if you type in Noddy, will it then find Noddy quicker on the next attempt?

[jomifl]

you have to tell it who noddy is.

[flobadob]

As I said, it did guess Noddy when I answered the questions. Perhaps if you click I Don't Know too many times or the wrong answer it won't guess correctly.

It got Muffin The Mule!!
