AI 20 Questions
This site is kind of fun. It plays 20 questions to guess what you are thinking of. I was thinking of a statue and it got it after 29 questions. The site was a little slow, but fun. It got Catnip after 24 questions, a chicken after 25 and a postage stamp after 17.


You think of an object and the A.I. will try to figure-out what you are thinking by asking simple questions. The object you think of should be something that most people would know about, but, never a specific person, place or thing. "A cat" is a good object, but "Pepper," my cat, would be a bad choice. You may answer Unknown to any question, especially if you do not understand the question or do not know the answer.
Answering a general question
You should be able to answer the question with either Yes or No, however, there are questions where the answer is not that simple. A horse is larger than a microwave oven, however, water is not larger than a microwave oven, neither is it smaller; the question is Irrelevant. Other questions may seem silly: Does a camel have four wheels? No, and neither does a motorcycle. Try to answer the questions to the best of your ability and, if you are unsure, use Unknown. The game has many of other questions it can ask.
Yes - You are sure about your answer of Yes.
No - You are sure about your answer of No.
Irrelevant - The question does not apply to your object.
Unknown - You are unsure of how the question relates or you don't know. The question will not be counted.
Sometimes - Sometimes Yes, sometimes No.
Maybe - Maybe it is, but you are not sure.
Probably - You are not sure but you think the answer might be Yes.
Doubtful - You are not sure but you think the answer might be No.
Usually - Most of the time, the answer would be Yes.
Depends - Your answer depends on how the question is interpreted.
Rarely - Most of the time, the answer would be No.
