... this game "knows" what you are thinking by making general guesses. Give it a try: http://y.20q.net/anon-es?0WD3SZyoWZy!a2aDVuV18DJpKhXbgSjAXA-!uVTnB

I beat it! Well, for a while:

"You win, but 20Q did guess it eventually"

Its first guess was taco, I was thinking of cheese which it guessed second time.

And again, I thought of a church and it didn't guess first time.

Amusing. I tried excavator (I won), camera (I won), and clothespin (won but it guessed). The problem is that we disagree on a lot of characteristics of these things. Can a clothespin be used in a classroom? Of course, clothespin dolls, paintings hung up to dry, etc... I say yes, it says no. Is it an outdoor object? I use them indoors to hang clothes and film. I say sometimes, it says always. And so on. Nonetheless it does a pretty good job of zeroing in, considering how much interpretation can be applied to the answers.
