/me cranks up his hardware firewall to tinfoil hat mode before clicking on that link... sorry man, just the last one you posted had some seriously nasty crap on it heh

Wish me and my firewall luck :-D

[the_leander]

All clear, my mistake :-)

That site is an awful lot of fun :-D

[T_Bone]

Holy crap. It guessed "Fishing Pole" in two guesses!

tried a few others, it's uncannily intuitive :-O

[the_leander]

It had to go through 3 or 4 guesses for Copper, though to be fair, it guessed Zink, Lead, Steel and another metal before it got it right, so even though it wasn't right first time around, it was on the right line of thought.

Okay, I tried thinking of, uhm, well, how to put this without embarassing myself and getting a talking-to by the webmasters, a therapeutic aid for the lonely woman. [... waits patiently until the sniggers have worn of...] The response of the computer when it eventually guessed what I had in mind was quite hilarious, but I'm not going to spoil the surprise.

@cymric:
Hmm, I tried that object but the website failed to guess it. I tried searching it's database but couldn't find it at all :-?.

I tried that too, while thinking of it, I couldn't help but laugh at some of the questions, ie. "Can it be inserted into something?", then followed by, "Can it be used for games?"...gee...I'm immature :lol:

[Crumpster]

Damn that thing's good!

Managed to fox it with dilitium crystals!:-D

But to be fair it got close, giving suggestions of Kryptonite, Plutonium, Uranium, a warp core (the closest guess).

That's a smart piece of coding!!

I just registered for the full version, it seems to be even better, oh and isn't limited to "G" rated items as the public version is.

The registered version updates it's database according to your answers, and tells you the things it's learned about previously known objects from your answers.

Too cool
