Anyone else ever play this game? Thought it was kinda neat. Not that impressive but killed a little time. 😕

Not bad. Hopefully it will get smarter over time. It didn't do very well when I played with it.

It's all in the answers. Some questions I wasn't sure what the right answer was so it took more than 20 questions.

Edit: I'll just ignore that last part shall I 😉

I tried it with "lamp" and got "You said it is classified as Mineral, I say Other."

The game has pretty strange opinions about lamps; for example, you won't find a lamp on a farm, it's not outside, it's not round, it's not heavy... And some similar objects are seeing eye dogs and ramen noodles. 😉

I had to try that, too - it got it in 16! 🙂 There was only one contradiction - "Was it used over 100 years ago? You said Irrelevant, I say Yes." "Used" doesn't quite seem to fit.
