20 Questions
Do you guys remember playing 20 questions? You know that game you play on long car rides where your friend/sibling thinks of an "animal, vegetable, or mineral" and you try to guess what it is asking only "yes" or "no" questions, and inevitably you quit because your sister didnt actualy think of an animal, a vegetable, or a mineral, but instead some abstract concept, such as "the number 2" or "a sense of fufillment" and usualy someone ends up in tears. Well now you can experiance all that fun and horror online and even better, against a robot at www.20q.net. Think of anything and this artificial intelligence with guess what it is after only 20 questions. Can you stump it?
