I have been doing this for like 3 hours here at work, thought I'd share it with the gprime world.

Some guy's made an artificial intellegence computer that you can talk too and play 20 questions with.

I guessed random things like:

A shaver
an mp3 player
a bar of soap
a moose (canada eh!?)
a coin
a planet
scotch tape

etc

it got them all in under 20 questions

Check out the site at

This game is just like that "guess the dictator/sitcom character" game, except with less questions. That game asked you, like, 50,000 questions before it guessed correctly. Hehe...

Hey guys, is a shower curtain larger than a microwave oven (or a bread box)?

Burgerking teamed up with star wars to make something similar:

^yes, I have also seen the handheld version of 20Q, I believe it was at walmart. hehe. :happy:


And in response to John's comment, yes, I believe Burger King bought rights from 20Q to use their system for their flash. If you pay attention, the bank of questions is EXACTLY the same in both versions, word-for-word.

The Sith Sense one was much more entertaining. :D

And George Lucas sold the soul of Episode III to everything...

Star Wars M&Ms... Burger King has Star Wars everything... Star Wars Slurpee cups. (I have all four. XD)

But yeah. See my point?
