this has probably been posted before, but I thought it was most appropriate to post it here.

I think it is using a bayesian filtering system.

Anyways, it guessed "tank" correctly, on question 16... not bad for 1's and 0's....

I tried a few things, car, LED, Speakers which it took. It didn't understand president though, but I'm not sure if it works with titles? I'm a bit impressed though.

It is based on user replies. So even if it did not understand "president" yet, you have contributed to it being able to guess better next time someone who thinks like you tries to guess "president".

Your answers go into a scoring system. A lot of times, the listed contradictions are interesting.

It's pretty good, got most of what I suggested.
Including some of the naughtier things I tried (which made some of the quetions extremely interesting).

This is a bit like a website I saw several years ago called "Guess the Dictator" or something like that. I'll have to dig up the link...

edit - http://www.smalltime.com/dictator.html

edit2 - tried "chicken" on the link in the original post, and it says that chickens don't bring joy to people... How can that be?

> 13. Is it made out of wood? Yes.

I think this answer confused it... I got it to ask me to get my head out of the gutter... it said it is not allowed to talk about that kind of stuff here.

Then it asked if it has anything to do with sex...
