From an artificial intelligence standpoint, that software is pretty revolutionary...

Not really, this type of software has been around for a while - it spawned IBM's Deep Blue among others.

The computer response:

You won!
Is it one of these ...
mail (snail mail)
an address book
a birthday card
a Macintosh computer
a personal organiser
advertising
a piece of paper
anmitsu (bean paste with honey)
a banana pepper
umeboshi (pickled plum)
an alaskan malamute
an agenda
a web browser
tokoyaki (fried octopus)
a human head
an envelope
Enter what you were thinking: website

My thoughts are that I won because a web "browser" is a program like mozilla or Internet Explorer that you use to LOOK for websites

I lost. I was thinking of a banjo. And it got it! When all of the questions could have easily led one to think it was a guitar. Man, Hal has me spooked.

After 27 questions I won, i was thinking about a computer.

Apparently whenever iu viewed my answers compared to their answers I was wrong. Like one question was "can it be foudn in a church" or can it be found on a farm?' Well if anyone is up with the tiems they'll know computers are inseveral hurches nowadays and lots of farmers are going hi-tech in their tractors/combines/planters and of course they have a gazillion records to keep up with.

Hmmmm ... it says a Golden Retriever does NOT have fangs, but fangs are defined as "canine teeth" -- so if they are canine, wouldn't every dog have them???

The second time around I was thinking of a violin bow, and after the 23rd answer I gave, it said: Q24. I am guessing that it is a fart?
