20 Questions
« on: May 28, 2009, 12:48:30 PM »
I just found a cool kill time game.

Think about a celebrity and let him/her be guessed:n:

Works like a charm. ;D

Cool site, Karsten :thumbup:

I defeated it!

Of course, I made it a point to think of a, in all probability, lesser known character (Camilla Belle's Dot in "The Quiet" Great movie BTW), and I won!  :laugh:

Second try took 30+ questions to find Teletha Testarossa (the Captain from «Full Metal Panic!»)

This genie isn't really good to find character from adult movies :devil:
Tryed with Misty Beethoven (played by Constance Money), Gloria Saunders (played by Marilyn Chambers in Behind the green door) and Linda Lovelace (herself in Deep throat). Nothing really that hard to find...

Even after watching all those adult movies?

I see you are taken with Tessa as I am  :laugh:

I tried three times.
The first was easy: Drew Barrymore

The second was: Constable Benton Fraser from Due South. He was wrong, but it would have been his second choice.

The third was also guessed correctly: Onizuka from the manga/anime Great Teacher Onizuka.

Interesting! I gave it a couple of easy ones. I think anyone could work out "Indiana Jones" from those questions! I tried it on something more obscure and it failed miserably, but then I tried Rick Blaine and I honestly thought it had missed it, but no! It got him. :thumbup:

Give another chance to the so-called genius. Since he obviously know nothing about adult movies, I've tried something else.

First try : Ilsa (from Ilsa She Wolf of the SS) :thumbdown:
Second Try : The Toxic Avenger :thumbdown:
third try : Caligula :thumbup: (25 questions before he find the answer, but he was in the right category each time)

Conclusion : he knows mainstream stuff, but nothing that are out of it. Even the Caligula answer isn't impressive, 25 questions to find a not so obscure character ::)

It's made by a computer guy, so it isn't that surprising that he knows a lot of anime stuff. :tomato:

I have been playing the "20 Questions" game on www.20Q.net for around 10 years now.

It breaks down questions into several types, and the engines that are more specific (such as a the one for Star Trek) aren't as good as obscure items chosen because there are so many items that match almost all of the criteria.
I have a collection.
It can be found here.
No need to check it often.
I update it only twice a year!


Never go to bed mad. Sleep on the couch instead.

There are a few broken branches in every family tree.
