    It got the Fool from Hobb's book on the first guess! Stumped him on some deities from Malazan though. Wow, really impressed now he got Tyrion Lannister without ever asking about length or anything.

    I wonder where it got all that data from if it can classify everything between Queen Elizabeth II and Tyrion Lannister? Perhaps it is processing the wikipedia pages, that would be really cool :cool: The search algorithm is not that complex, since it is very little except basic rule processing (perhaps with some probability calculations) but I'm very interested in the way the data was entered (and the FAQ is down :/)

    He failed at guessing Milton from Office Space, Rob Schneider, and Hayden Panettiere.

    Got Brooke Burke, Aerie (BG2), Adam Sandler, Conan O' Brien, Betty White, Andy Samberg, Cortana (Halo), Liara T'soni (Mass Effect), Fred Rogers ((Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood) got it on the 3rd guess), Tim Allen (2nd guess), Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bruce Campbell ((Army of Darkness) (3rd guess)), Brett Favre (Packers/Jets/Vikings), Stanley Hudson (The Office), and Leliana ((Dragon Age: Origins) 3rd guess)...

    It managed to get Bella Goth (One of the members of a starting family from The Sims) on it's first guess. I was amazed.

    Edit: It also got the Vault-Tec guy in one!

    Holy crap! It got Ieyasu Tokugawa in one guess. That's downright uncanny - I'm going to see if he can get more.

    EDIT: He didn't know Ashikaga Yo*****ru (damn censors), but it did have Sam from Sam and Max, Hannibal, and Jermaine from FotC!
