In my search around the net for interesting pages, I stumbled across this cute little thing to do while bored.
I am sure most people here have played the game called "20 Questions". For those who haven't the brief introduction is this. You think of an object, something, anything, and then your participants have 20 questions they can ask before they have to guess what it is. If they think they know what it is, they can ofc guess as fast as possible. The smaller amount of questions you use, the better. You lose if you fail to guess it under 20 questions.
Now, to get to the point, I found this cute website that provides a computer that tries to guess your object. It's scarily accurate, so now I challenge you all to try and come up with something this machine can't guess. The link is found here:
20 questions
Do the American version, and use the classical 20 Q.
Good luck, first person to con the machine receives some +cred from me at least, because I'm having trouble doing it myself... >_>
:::EDIT:::
Answer as accurately as you can though however.
Currently thinking about a "wristwatch", seems like I'¨m fooling the machine this time... ;-)

Well I just owned it xD Try it with "barge pole" the closest it got to it was snow shovel XD
I was quite worried when three of its questions in a row where "does it get wet", "is it pleasurable" and "does it go inside things"....

pfff, I've beaten it a few times now.
It seems that I dont really agree with other people because I think to much and so the program gets it wrong.
Example: I was thinking about peanut butter and it asked me if it would fit in an envelope. Of course it would, people just don't put it in there :-p.
edit: just beat it again... It didn't know penguins are predators. They eat fish people!
