Cool Toy -- 20Q

Has anyone else seen this nifty little handheld toy? Its called 20Q and basically you think of something and it asks you 20 questions and then guesses what it is. It is amazingly good. It is a lot of fun to try to find things it cannot get. The first question (standard for the game) is Animal vegetable mineral or other? From there it plays fair and asks the usual bigger than a bread box type questions. I hear there is a web site with more info. Will check it out at: www.20q.net/ or http://20q.secondthought.com/ Taking nothing away from the game it does not give specific answers to many questions. For example just "turtle," or "rabbit." Once you know its an animal most people can get it by 20 questions. The "other" category is, to me, more impressive.

From http://librarystories.blogspot.com/2004/12/20qnet.html: "20Q.net is an experiment in artificial intelligence. The program is very simple but its behavior is complex. Everything that it knows and all questions that it asks were entered by people playing this game. 20Q.net is a learning system; the more it is played, the smarter it gets."
