I was thinking of Johnny Carson and it guessed in under 10 questions

[HereSince1628]

1. Beat it on Marjorie Rawlings

[scarystuffyo]

2. That's a good one

[drray23]

3. kathy griffin

Took 37 guesses..

[bravenak]

4. That was crazy!!!

Arya Stark in 12 guesses, less than a minute!!

A Pimp Named Slickback!!! In 15 guesses!!!!

[m-lekktor]

5. wow.it took me 20 something questions

I didn't get the EXACT number because I wasn't paying close attention when it gave the correct answer. i was thinking of controversial Beat author William S. Burroughs. I was actually surprised it guessed correctly, it seemed confused for a bit when i said he did kill somebody but he wasn't a criminal (he shot his wife by accident)

[NavyDem]

6. It didn't guess correctly, but was very close.

I was thinking of Imani Cross, a running back at the University of Nebraska. It guessed Ameer Abdullah, who is the starting running back at Nebraska.

[zappaman]

7. 14 guesses for Roberto Clemente!

wtf?

[Gemini Cat]

67. 25 for Jackie Robinson

[muriel_volestrangler]

8. Pretty good - it got The Black Knight from Monty Python in 16 questions

which had apparently been thought of 3329 times before, the last time being earlier today.

[W_HAMILTON]

9. WTF, it guessed right!

Tom Sawyer (don't know why I thought of him).

I think it took around 15 questions.

[W_HAMILTON]

12. Double WTF!

I guessed a relatively unknown rookie NBA player, and it guessed correctly after about 18 questions!

[alcibiades_mystery]

10. 25 questions

Michel Foucault

"is your character a post-structuralist philosopher?"

[alcibiades_mystery]

16. 23 questions for Tyrone Slothrop from Gravity's Rainbow

That's pretty nifty.

[bigwillq]

11. 17 questions for Michelle Obama

Not bad.

[Hestia]

13. 19 guesses - Rachel Morgan from the Hollows/Dead Witch Walking series - wow!

[dorkzilla]

14. Hercule Poirot!

took about 18 guesses...

[spockeye]

15. Yes

I chose Illya Kuryakin from "Man from U.N.C.L.E." The tip was when they asked if he was foreign but lived in the US. I'm gonna try it again.
Thanks!

[Lifelong Protester]

17. It took over 30 guesses

for Gloria Steinem

[GusBob]

18. wow 15 questions to Robert Jorden

[ctaylors6]

20. Wow! 24 questions for Liam Neeson

and I even answered one of them incorrectly! (it was an accident )

[Journeyman]

21. 36 questions and 1 wrong answer for Hannah Arendt . . .

The incorrect guess came at question 25: Helen Keller.

[JaneyVee]

22. 13 for FDR

[muriel_volestrangler]

23. Not so good this time - Steve Hackett, former Genesis guitarist after 50 questions

and one wrong guess around 25 (it guessed Dave Gilmour).

Part of the problem is that the questions are all phrased in the present, but you don't know if you should answer for just the current moment, or when they were most famous (Hackett is not a member of a touring group now, but he was; he doesn't wear glasses now, but he used to (I presume he wears contacts these days)). Their expected answers show this problem - they expect 'yes' to "Is your character a member a band of 5 persons?" (for early Genesis including Peter Gabriel he was, but he's not now); but they expect 'no' to "Does your character belong to a foursome?" (after Gabriel left, they were a foursome for the next 2 studio albums).

[alcibiades_mystery]

24. I defeated it!

Quintilian.

Come on! Who doesn't know Quintilian!

[Mojorabbit]

[Logical]

28. 18 for John Wayne! nt

I'm not impressed with his mental powers.

[Alittleliberal]

32. I saw this on FunnyJunk in like 2008

43. Wrong, Monica Lewinsky was not who I was thinking of....

I was thinking Barbara Walters. after 20 questions it guessed Lewinsky and I said No and then it asks if you want to continue, so I did and after a bunch more questions it guessed correctly. Cool.

[Martin Eden]

50. Joe McCarthy in 34 questions

Hirogata and Katakana doing okay, Kanji boggles my mind most of the time.

I'd love to be able to read light novels just like that too, but that is currently a pipe dream for me.

[Xyzse]

65. Was thinking Snake Eyes and I got Roy Obannon from Johnny Quest.

That is Soooooo Off.

It isn't getting Snake-Eyes for some reason.

147. Not even close.

[VScott]

148. Beat it twicw with Chuckie from SoA

and Chief Wild Eagle from F-Troop.

One thing I enjoyed during the process, is that you know its going to get it right when it asks a specific question
directly related to the character.

Example... when I was thinking of another SoA character (Tigg), it asked if the person was in a motorcycle gang.
That's when I knew it had me beat before it gave the correct answer.

[Aerows]

149. I thought of

The Evil Queen/Regina Mills from Once upon a time. It got it in 12.

[kentauros]

150. I was thinking of one of my Spirit Guides.

[11 Bravo]

155. Sarah Palin in 15 questions.

[JustAnotherGen]

156. It took him 41 guesses

At question 25 he guessed Ryan O'Neal - but I think the horses and married to a famous artist is how he got to Redford!

[Blue_In_AK]

through two whole rounds. It guessed Dennis Kucinich. LOL

I guess potentially soon-to-be former Democratic senators from Alaska don't count.

[rusty fender]

159. Addicting

Can't believe it guessed Ernest Borgnine with questions asked. I stumped it on Gary King, who was the Dem candidate for governor of NM in 2014. He lost to Susanna Martinez. Oh, he guessed her correctly.

[Scuba]

160. It got Lt. William Calley in 21 q's, but did not get Rosemary Woods.

165. You can usually stump it with very minor characters in cult TV shows.
