This is like the weirdest thing i've even seen! A friend showed it to me and it basically can guess any person you are thinking of, normally in under 20 q's. I've even tried really hard people/characters who are not very well known and it still gets them. I've tricked it sometimes though.

Give it a go, just think of any character, real or fake and then answer the questions truthfully.

I hate him! I can't find anyone whom he doesn't have. If anyone finds someone, post in this thread!

[-Danube-]

I was like thinking of random contestants from X factor and stuff who didn't do much in the show and he still gets them..

[Hecktix]

I did a search for James Toseland one of my favourite motorcycle racers and the questions were so generic and it managed to find it, so I thought it may have something to do with internet search history so I'm gonna try something I've never been on the site for.

I have a thing called 20Q challenge and it's basically exactly the same as this. Tis quite creepy.

Thats how i found it really weird, how most of the questions are so generic and they could be for anyone. But some of the people i were thinking of, i have never googled :S

Yeah i stumped it a few times, but 9 out of 10 times it doesn't get stumped.

Then when you stump it you can enter the name etc so it 'learns' the more popular it gets, technically the better it gets.

It's so creepy and really addictive.

[Hecktix]

I did it with 2 people in mind and it got the right one. Im gonna try it again with the other person

[HotelUser]

I thought this one only did superheros, anyways I've used it so much and it gets the right answer 90% of the time!

[Phil]

sooo addictive. He got himself in 13 questions lol

[Chris]

Still doing it, it's guess most of mine. >;[

[Hecktix]

:O worked for me!

[Nicola]

I think you've got us all hooked Dan :P

It guessed Rupert Grint and the last two questions were "Do they play a student?" and "Do they play a character in Harry Potter?" - they were the only two questions you could guess it from and tbh from those two questions, it could have been a lot of people.

[Hecktix]

the first few questions are random and it gives you really poorly related questions it suffers, I find.

[-Danube-]

Lol at Oli trying to Psychoanalyse it :P

[Describe]

It's a massive database probably gathered from thousands of internet pages and it asks you questions until someone becomes unique, because you've answered so many questions it's like 1/100 that it'll be wrong.

I think it's lower than 1/100 - think of two people similar who most if not all answers would be the same for - it gets confused as hell xD

[RandomManJay]

Beat it! I thought of Stephen King and it came up with Cormac McCarthy :P. It just keeps coming up with authors I've never even heard of now.

[buttons]

mine went from "is he white" (no) to "is he black" (no) to "is he korean" (yes) idk why it would ask korean after black and white..... then "is it a singer" (yes), "is it in a 10+ band" (yes) then started asking stupid questions like "does it bite", "does it always wear headphones", "is it hated by everything?" that's not even relevant to the questions before nor could you have guessed who i was thinking of through them.... they had 13 people to chose from idk how any of those questions related to him. got it right in the end so obviously some internet history o.o

then he got sum1 iv never heardof

[N!ck]

Once it knows it's got it it asks some random questions to add to abd improve the database.

[Inseriousity.]

[Lost_Addict]

So Far i've done all these and he got them ( I start with obvious and go more unknown):

Woody
Hurley
Nathan
Kryten
Ernie the Chicken
Greased-Up Deaf Guy
Tim Vine

[Middlesbrough]

[qaxzsw]

He guessed Gabriella Cilmi! So clever!
Guessed Mollie King too!
Wow! Rochelle Wiseman aswell and I was being extremely general

edit: im really creeped out now.. managed to get gail platt with questions like 'does this character have children' etc. didnt even ask about hair colour! so confused!
edit again: haha he didnt guess claire peacock!
edit again again: wow im so impressed with this, found tracy barlow!

[Nikki]

It's quite addictive :')
He guessed: scooby doo, jennifer love hewitt rupert grint, bella out of beauty and the beast, johnny depp , kara scodelaria( effy from skins) and ben mitchell lol.

I beat him on a glee question, he asked " is this person in glee" quite quickly but then instead of Brittany he said Quinn (a)

[Oleh]

40 questions and it found the guy (Riddick) Then again i only know 8/10 of the questions (is he from usa, has he ever been into space) all that

Ill try it again later

[lawrawrrr]

I found this a while ago and am yet to stump it. I think I had a success a while ago with characters from this obscure book series I read, but it's a bit like, hmm to be able to get away with that!

[-Danube-]

I think it mainly gets it wrong when you answer the questions differently then it expects, so you haven't really tricked it, you just think of someone differently to how it thinks of like person. For example, it not being able to guess michael jackson or piers morgan.

[Phil]

I was thinking of piers morgan and tricked it 3 times woo

Got him but it took 30 questions.


I thought of michael jackson... got scatman john
