"20 Questions" question.

Eldezar · 12-28-2009, 08:43 PM

Ok, so I found 20 Questions online and I chose the LHC. Well, the problem with a lot of the questions it is asking is that it isn't entirely specified or has not been tested, as well as a few that I just haven't done enough research to know for sure. Such as...

Is it used in a sport?
Does it break when dropped?
Is it used to carry people?
Is it black?
Can it be stolen?
Can you use it 24 hours a day?
Does it have lungs?
Can you jump on it?
Can it float?

Some of the guesses have been:
Spaceship
Merry-go-round
bonfire
dam
yacht
tram

And then the game gave up after not guessing the right thing after awhile. Obviously, the LHC may not actually be in the database, but at the same time I don't know enough about it to where I have probably been giving the wrong answers on a few questions.

So, anybody want to give it a shot, or have any other fun and interesting 20 Questions puzzles?

I got many of the questions in this weird mixture of finnish, english and chinese symbols. A lot of questions were hard for me to understand because of this. I was thinking of a guitar, it's first guess was a trumpet, so close-ish. Although with 20 questions that isn't too hard.

I did it!

Q22: Are you thinking of a particle accelerator?

It still lost, but hey.

It got cockatoo is 23 questions. Teddy bear in 24.

So it's not good at winning, but it is pretty good at getting there eventually.

It wasn't able to guess Star Destroyer.

It tried spaceship, but I felt that wasn't quite specific enough, and it was 24 questions in anyway.

Soldier -> Animal
Are you thinking of an Australian Shepard?
Are you thinking of a Microwave?
Are you thinking of a Laser Printer?
Are you thinking of a Photocopier?
Are you thinking of a Tugboat?

I tried out Star Destroyer too, this is what it asked around Q14

"is it found in space?" Yes
"Are you thinking of a tank?" sigh.

It got Godzilla at Q20, but not before guessing a demon at Q18, so I don't think it won that one either.

So far the closest I could get is "planet" for Mars and "jester" for Kefka.

Akinator is a bit more in-depth for this sort of thing, though it mostly only good for guessing people and characters.

I'm rather impressed with this. Instead of just saying "dog" it tries to guess the dog breed.

...Granted, I was thinking "Penis", but still...

It got Godzilla in under 20
It could'nt guess vagina or breast
( I was willing to allow either to be a victory.)
it did guess breastmilk, uvula, and womb
tsk tsk
