    Default This thingis freaking me out!

    I got a 20Q in my stocking for Christmas and this thing is very close about 99% of the time and spot on about 95% of the time. It's reading my mind!

    ...and across the line.

    We had one at work the other day and it couldnt guess many of them. Ofcourse I am sure bartenders are thinking up things not usually programed into those. We did try some normal stuff and it could get them either.

    It has to be a general item like sports car instead of Miata or MP3 player instead of iPod. Maybe I'm just thinking of some common things but it's pretty amazing. Often the questions are so general you wonder how it guesses.

    BTW, I have the original one. Not one of the Sports or Music versions. I hadn't tried those.

    The latest perfect guess for me was Shampoo. I tried Super hero and it guessed Spiderman and then Superman. Strangely it can't guess itself. Think of 20Q and it can't guess it.

    Not a prefect thing but still very cool.

    Unless you choose a really uncommon or weird word, those things are pretty impressive. I played with them quite a bit when I was supposedly working at Wal Mart

    There is an online version with a much bigger database. It is usually right on.

    With your limited mental capacity I'm not surprised!

    Hmmm...

    I was thinking of you and it came back with "Turd".
