Akinator - The Web Genius

Not quite sure if General Discussion area is the best place for this thread, so if any of you moderators and / or administrators think Off Topix has a better place for it - go ahead and move it.

This is quite fun and a bit creepy. Think of anything you want and Akinator will try to guess what's on your mind by asking you a series of questions which you have to answer (preferably honestly, in an interest of a fair play ) in order for him to "read your mind".

I've managed to stump him a few times by thinking of something (or someone) he apparently never heard of (or rather, can't find any info in his database ), but overall, he's quite good at guessing, if you don't cheat and give false answers.

Sooo, anyone feel like giving it a try?

 

[Jazzy]

Tried it and his answer was incorrect.

 

[Smiley]

What were you thinking of?

 

[Elvira]

Guessed right! I was thinking of Oz from Buffy.

 

[Smiley]

Yes, he's very good at guessing movies' and TV shows' characters. The more obscure something you're thinking of is, the less likely he's to guess it.

 

[Elvira]

He didn't get Baby Bink from Baby's Day Out lol.

"Does your character wear shoes?" Uh...haha

 

[Smiley]

I guess little Bink is just too obscure for the poor web genius.

I am not so sure about that!

I tried Ahmad Shah Massoud, he missed the first time but got it right on the second attempt. I have to think he can even get the obscure stuff, after that guess. Pretty impressive...

Oddly enough, I stumped him on the next try...Andrew Napolitano!

Go figure...

Anyway, fun stuff @Smiley

Thanks for posting it.

 

[Smiley]

Well, in poor Akinator's defense, I must admit I had to google Ahmad Shah Massoud and Andrew Napolitano to see who they are, since I've never heard of them either.

 

[Rooster]

He got Foghorn Leghorn on the first try!

Did you have to google him, too?

 

[Smiley]

Yes, only to discover that I actually know who he is, but under a different name. Me not 'murican, so all the cartoon characters' names were / are badly translated into something more appropriate for my native language. Sorry.



I say, I say, I say boy...

 

[Rooster]

Ok, he beat me again, got it right on the first try...Ed Snowden.

But it did take him 22 questions...

 

[Smiley]

You're still hooked on this?
