    Default 20Q quiz

    I've just found this interesting quiz - you pick a category and think of something within that category, for example a movie and then the quiz asks you 20 question about it and tries to guess what you've thought of.

    It guessed to movie correctly after 19 questions:
    19. Does it involve a murder? No.
    18. Was it popular in the '90s? No.
    17. Is it one of your top five favorite things? Doubtful.
    16. Does someone die? Yes.
    15. Does it have a famous cast? Probably.
    14. Does it involve a serious illness? No.
    13. Is it a western? No.
    12. Is it set in America? Yes.
    11. Is it about sports? No.
    10. Is it a comedy? Probably.
    9. Is it animated? No.
    8. Does it have a sequel? No.
    7. Is it about teenagers? No.
    6. Does it take place in the Middle East? No.
    5. Does it involve the supernatural? No.
    4. Is it realistic? Doubtful.
    3. Do you think it's funny? Probably.
    2. Is it romantic? No.
    1. Was it produced in the last ten years? No.

    The program is quite good. Its record with me was Giraffe, in 16 questions.
    On the down side, it failed to find "Coin".
    BLARGH!

    Heh, same here. It guessed Titanic in 19 questions. The first 17 questions were generic, and then it asked if the film was JFK, to which I said no. The next thing I see "Was it Titanic?" . Very simple program it is, one that I could even make myself, yet very interesting.


    Holy Cow! It guessed Saving Private Ryan after 17, and it did not ask about any other films. Guessed it right on the first try!!
