    He's standing his with finger in his mouth like a tube for me.

    That is actually pretty cool.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,641 ✭✭✭Teyla Emmagan


    **** me, that's brilliant.

    Am I just amazingly predictable?

    Have to try again and go more obscure this time...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,760 ✭✭✭summerskin


    it got it wrong both times for me, i was thinking Gavin Rossdale and it said Damon Albarn, and for Andy Farrell it said Kevin Sinfield.

    I thought of Mell Gibson first, which it got right. Then Steffi Graf which it got wrong, got her on the second attempt though (first guess was Anna Kournikova)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,109 ✭✭✭RikkFlair


    I picked Fr. Larry Duff and he got there after 23 questions.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,455 ✭✭✭Where To


    I've beaten it every time.

    Stupid genie has never heard of Lee Majors, apparently.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,455 ✭✭✭Where To


    'Does your character even lift?'

    What kind of a ******* question is that?:pac:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,199 ✭✭✭Shryke


    That is the biggest heap of shit I've seen all day. Over 70 questions before it guessed Christopher Walken.

    "Does he wear a green hat?" "Does he have legs?" "Is he part demon?" "Is he a dwarf?" - The dwarf one was about 60 questions in.

    haha thats brilliant. I tried Popeye the first time and it got it so decided to try Father Ted as thought it would't know him - it go it in 10 questions!

    Edit: Ok, it even got Ryan Sheridan.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,431 ✭✭✭Sky King


    i demand to know how this works

    It asks you questions and gives you a response based on your answers


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,689 ✭✭✭Tombi!


    It's based on answers that are "correct".
    It's just a process of elimination really.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,455 ✭✭✭Where To


    Finally got him after 134 questions.

    I'm male and 35. Should have got it after 5 at most.
    Is it David Hasselhoff
    Is it Dirk Benedict?
    Is it Tom Wopat?
    Is it Jan Michael Vincent?
    Is it Lee Majors?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,641 ✭✭✭Teyla Emmagan


    Ok, I outsmarted it the second time. Was close though.

    Actually I didn't outsmart it at all. Ahem.

    Mrs Fairfax after 40 questions and 2 guesses.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,070 ✭✭✭✭My name is URL


    It guessed Bryan Dobson in 18 questions!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,861 ✭✭✭RobbieTheRobber

    So it now knows one league of Ireland player


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,455 ✭✭✭Where To


    It guessed Bryan Dobson in 18 questions!
    Did it ask you 'Does he have an attractive sidekick?'


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,264 ✭✭✭✭jester77


    Took him 26 questions to get Bugs Bunny, I could have done it quicker :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,431 ✭✭✭Sky King

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 966 ✭✭✭GO_Bear


    I was thinking of Robb Stark,

    First he guessed Jon Snow after 20 ish questions, 5 more and he got Robb Stark, interesting enough but its probably just a big XML spreadsheet with y/n and probability answers !

WTF. Got it right in the end though:D
