    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)

    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.

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

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

    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?
