20 Questions

Here is a fun and slightly addictive site...

Think of an object, and the website will ask you a series of questions, trying to identify the item. For example, I was thinking of a tiki mug, and after 20 questions, their guess came back as a martini glass.

This thing is pretty smart ..... I am surprised by how many items they can identify.

It couldn't guess a hula skirt, its best guess was bagpipes.

Wow, that IS addictive! Tampon, cowboy hat, budgie, moose... eventually it got them all!

Hahahah... that would be an interesting switch at the luau!

Or at the Highland Games!!

It guessed correctly that I was thinking of beef jerky! How does it do that?

That is fun but I love the contradictions at the end, here were mine for crab

You were thinking of a crab.
Does it weigh more than a duck? You said Sometimes, I say No.
Can it fit in an envelope? You said Sometimes, I say No.
Does it squirm? You said Sometimes, I say No.
Does it bring joy to people? You said Sometimes, I say No.
Does it contain a liquid? You said Unknown, I say No.
Can you play with it? You said Sometimes, I say No.

I've seen some giant spider crabs that weigh more than a duck, and I make necklaces with tiny crabs that can fit in an envelope. I've also had pet hermet crabs which I've played with and have brought me joy. Oh well, it still guessed right!

Great site, thanks!

ha, ha, I tried it with a certain male body part but didn't stop at muscle (body part) So it kept asking questions after 20. It finally said "Does your mother know what you are thinking about?"

lava lamp, model car, motor home, great white shark, and giant squid (only 12 questions for giant squid)
