Hey I Can Read Your Mind!!

20Q

I don't know whether you guys have seen this toy b4... But it's really cool and amazing! I'm totally impressed with it.

To play 20Q, think of something, anything, then answer a series of up to 20 questions. 20Q asks the questions via an LED display and you answer by pressing the 'yes,' 'no' or 'maybe' buttons. By asking questions that seem completely irrelevant ("Is it flat?" and "Is it heavier than a pound of butter?") 20Q somehow works out what you're thinking. To add to the fun and games 20Q will sometimes stop to taunt you, displaying messages such as "You can't beat me" or "You thought you were tricky. After 20 questions it should be able to name the object, although if it guesses incorrectly it will ask five more questions and take a second guess before admitting defeat.

You can check out this wonderful site @ www.20q.net and challenge the AI. You will be DAMN SURPRISED that it reads your mind!
