Another one of those 20 question sites that guesses the person you're thinking of....but I'm kind of freaked out by how well it has done so far.

If anyone is thinking of doing something metal-related, you should know that it correctly guessed Hansi Kursch and Varg Vikernes. :P

He correctly guessed Kenny Rogers!

Seriously, that must be a pretty comprehensive database behind that.

I know how it happens now, after defeating it with Doug Flutie. At the end it asked me to provide the name of the person I was thinking of.

Every time it correctly guesses a person, it records all the answers .. over time it must build up a database of people with questions and likely answers.

It got Shane MacGowan. Not too difficult, but still, I'm impressed.

EDIT: Got Euronymous as well.

Haha, no. The one from A Song of Ice and Fire.

It also got The Nameless One from Planescape Torment. I am impressed.

It got Rosa Luxemburg no problems.

Then I tried Wayne Shorter. After 20 questions it came up with that Sullenberger guy who crash landed the plane into the Hudson. Then I went on for a few more and as soon as it found out it was a black American musician who had once been married it came up with the right guy. Wierd :blink:

Ok, I'm going to pick a minor character from Wheel of Time.

Hah, it took 40 questions to guess Jon Schaffer.

It gets almost 100% right, it's basically all about whether or not anyone has thought of the character you're thinking of before. Because all the characters are added by other "users."
