The Web Genius Thread

[-CC-]

OK maybe this is old news in the world of the internets, but I just discover the Akinator tonight..and my god it has consumed my life in just a couple of hours...

It's a website where a genie asks you between 10-20 questions and he has to figure out what character or person you are thinking of....he's had a 99% correct rate with me so far! The only character he couldn't get was Cyrax from Mortal Kombat (he gave me Smoke instead)

So far he's guess right on some of the most obscure shit, including Epona (Link's Horse..wtf right?)

I haven't tried any artists yet though, so I'm not sure how good he is with knowing members of bands

Anyway here is the website: http://us.akinator.com/

I've played with that a bunch of times. It just gets more and more accurate the more people play it.

That's not just old, that's epicly old.

That said, it just got Darken Rahl. And based on the questions it asked, I'm completely stumped as to how it did.
DAMNIT. Sucked in again.
Got Leto II.
It didn't get Peter Wiggin.

Yeah, it just guessed Will Navidson from the "House of Leaves". I believe in its power.

It gets more lame once you realize how the whole system works.
