Fun little game. A genie asks 20 questions to find out who you're thinking of.

 

[GoodSarmatian]

Well, it took him 40 questions to get it right.
I was thinking of Jessica Biel but after 20 questions he suggested Emily Browning and after 30 questions Megan Fox, but I have to admit that I answered "I don't know" more than three times.

There were also some redundancies. One of his first questions were if the character is/was married, and later he asked if the she was married twice.

Edit:
I have now wasted quite some time with this now and it's actually pretty efficient: It correctly guessed Daenerys Targaryen, Otto von Bismarck, Nicola Tesla and Teyrn Loghain after 20 questions or less and Odo and Gul Dukat after 30. It didn't guess Master Li from Jade Empire and gave me Robert Baratheon instead of Stannis.

 

[Save_Ferris]

Holy crap, he even guessed Sid Meier!

 

[Red_Spy]

He got Yoda.

 

[Yoda Power]

I tried with George H W Bush, since I assumed that to be a hard one, it guessed his son instead. I then continued and it got it right.

This has bee done before.

 

[Truthy]

He got Darth Vader.

 

[Skwink]

He guessed it right, Drew Carey!

Then it got it right again, Elaine Benes.

Then it guessed Oscar Madison, wrong. After a few more questions, it guessed right with Ray Barone.

 

[Truthy]

It took him 30 questions to get John Locke from Lost.
Otherwise he's not bad. He got:
Ellen Ripely
Rick Blaine
Charles Foster Kane (After one guess)
Anton Chigurh

God, this thing is good! He has gotten every character. He even got Iris, the prostitute, from Taxi Driver!

This.

He got Niels Bohr, Denmark from SATW, Rtas Vadum from Halo, Numbuh 362 from KND (After one incorrect guess), Professor Binns from Harry Potter, and at this point I think I'm going to have to come up with more obscure things to get characters from.

 

[Red_Spy]

It got Rick the Adventure Sphere.

 

[jtb1127]

He got David McCullough.

 

[madviking]

This is old, and I think we wasn't able to get Patrick Henry (wikilink added for non-Virginians). But lemme try again.

It got Patrick Henry.

 

[Truthy]

I've defeated him multiple times using historical figures but probably because I don't know personal details about them (stuff like "Did they have a sister" etc.)
And he has a lot of redundancies (Is your Character American? Is your Character an American Citizen?)

You can just find said details on Wikipedia.

 

[Truthy]

You can just find said details on Wikipedia.

I guess I could.

 

[jtb1127]

He has gotten all of them except for the mayor of DC. He actually said "mayor of your city". I just said yes since it was his final guess, but I don't live in DC. The fastest he got someone was either Barack Obama or Harry Potter.

 

[choxorn]

He got the Companion Cube and only needed to ask 16 questions...

I managed to completely stump him with the GM from Darths and Droids, but I'd have to say that's largely because there's little in the way of a physical description for the GM, or anyone in the game.

 

[Save_Ferris]

He got Dingodile (Crash Bandicoot), the FFFFFFUUUUUU face, Michael Scarn (The Office), and Alton Brown. Wow.

@choxorn: I also tried the companion cube.
