Yep I've taught it a thing or two also. One I taught it was Marshall from Alias, it had guessed Hymie (the robot) from Get Smart.
It seems to have some sort of weighting or multiple-path algorithm, a sort of fuzzy logic to figure out the person. Or sometimes it just asks a whole lot of questions...
BrianA, it can get Colonel Klink, I remember seeing questions specifically tailored to him. Some of the questions are hard to answer, like "Do you carry a gun?" It would seem like he would carry a Luger or something, but it's not really a trademark of his so I said no.

I tried answering the questions with myself as the person and it thought that I was:
Vincent Fox of Mexico (if I have a moustache), or
Bernard from Yes Primeminister (if I do not have a moustache).

It got Richie Cunningham pretty easily. Eventually it got Batman. I am trying to think of another old one to test it with.

Beat it with Mrs. Muir from "The Ghost and Mrs. Muir" and Heath Barkley from "The Big Valley". Oh, I am so proud of myself for spending afternoons after school in the early 70's glued to the b&W tv set! Actually, I'm kind of surprised I can even remember some of that stuff after what I used to do after college classes in the 80's!!

OK, this thing is the most addictive game I have played in a long time. I am amazed at the truly bizarre things that are in the database. It got Lancelot Link, Secret Chimp!! I did, however, truly stump it with Horatio Hoodoo (Charles Nelson Riley) from that wacky LSD driven early 70's kids show "Lidsville". It could not even come up with a name! The computer said it was humiliated that it had been totally beaten. Of course, it made me put some info in, so now Hoodoo is in there for someone else to find. I had half my office playing this today-- talk about a productivity killer!
