How does it guess these??

 

[Averagesupernova]

Ok DeadWolfe were you really thinking cadaver?

It guesses them based on pre-loaded criteria I would imagine. Every time someone plays it it adjusts that criteria. So we can make it as dumb or as smart as we want it to be. I wonder if only ONE person played it over and over and over and over for like years, what kind of profile would we have about this person? Makes you wonder if it is part of something larger. Considering that it is possible to record IP addresses and what not, maybe we are all being profiled. Oh well, they won't find much out about me other than that I have a dirty mind. I tried using different body parts, sex toys, etc. and all it ever said was that I was thinking of something to do with sex and to get my mind out of the gutter.

 

[DeadWolfe]

Yes I was. I was trying to think of something that would be too strange to guess.

Hey this could be perfect for buying Presents. Ask a person 20-30 questions and you will know what they want!

Lol, I actually did this earlier.

My mom was asking me what I wanted, but I didn't want to tell her exactly what. So she got clueless, and then I went onto the 20q thing and it said "books"...
