It's a phone app.

You think of any person and it asks you a bunch of questions and usually gets it right.

I guessed Davros and the questions it asked were really vague and still got it.

You can also play it on the web.

It got all of these easy enough:

Lance Henriksen (took it a long time to get to him, it gave me Edward James Olmos and David Morse first)
Walter Bishop
Benjamin "Hawkeye" Pierce
Juror #8
Rodney Trotter
John Petrucci
Arnel Pineda
Lauren Mayberry
Klayton

But then I stumped it.

I was thinking of Elaine Caswell but it gave me Elena Siegman, Your wife to come, Sia, and Lana Del Ray before it gave up and asked me who I was thinking of.

Yasunori Mitsuda
Akinator
Zinyak
Gobbledok

Then I stumped it again.

I was thinking of Pasi Rantanen but it couldn't get it. It guessed Tony Kakko, Timo Kotipelto, and Joacim Cans before giving up.

It was asking some really dumb questions though. Like after I said he was Finnish, it asked a bunch of questions asking if he was from other countries (wasting at least 6 questions), and it asked if he was female after I'd already told it he was male. It also asked if he was "grass type" after I had already said he was a real person and in a rock band and had answered many other relevant questions.

It correctly guessed Victoria.

I remember this site from forever ago. It just guessed Alf Stewart. It narrowed it down to an over 50 Australian character that lives near the beach, so I thought it certainly had it, but then it goes and asks if my character has been killed off by Moffat. Wtf

It corrected guessed Ra-One from the Indian film of the same name, but I stumped it with the robot from the japanese movie Cyborg Girl.

Bolsters · « **Reply #8 on:** February 11, 2015, 06:36:37 AM »

Yeah, it does ask some really stupid questions that were ruled out by former answers. Inspired by your choice Blob I tried a Home and Away character aswell, but I haven't watched that show since the early 90's so I went with an old character thinking it might not know her; Angel. It didn't get it.

BlobVanDam · « **Reply #9 on:** February 11, 2015, 06:38:42 AM »

It entirely works by building up its database based on thousands of people playing it, so unless other people have played that character, it won't get it.

It just got the robot from Robot and Frank, and ASIMO, and MechaGodzilla. I like robots.

Yeah I know. I thought it might guess her at one point, because the first person it suggested was Kylie Minogue's character from Neighbours, and Melissa George was in Home and Away around the same time and actually made it out of the show and had a little bit of a career. But in the end all it did was give me more Neighbours characters, even though the first question it asked after guessing Minogue was "does your character live near the beach?". $:\$

I stumped it with E.J. Corey, who is widely regarded as the greatest organic chemist ever. I'm not impressed.

Nekov · « **Reply #12 on:** February 11, 2015, 06:23:44 PM »

I remember this from years ago. I was able to bet it once but I can't remember what the character was.

sneakyblueberry · « **Reply #13 on:** February 11, 2015, 06:37:21 PM »

Did anyone get

"Does your character rape people on a regular basis?"

Or was that just me?

I stumped it with Joshua Tillman/Father John Misty. Crushed it. Tried to get me to tell him the answer. Pfffft.

TempusVox · « **Reply #14 on:** February 11, 2015, 06:58:50 PM »

It got the creature from Alien with only 5 guesses.

It is colored blind though. Three times it got wrong and insisted my old college coach Don James was associated with wearing blue! UW colors are PURPLE and Gold.

I've been playing with that site forever. It's pretty fun. Guesses some pretty obscure people.

lonestar · « **Reply #16 on:** February 11, 2015, 07:38:32 PM »

So I went with Eeyore, and after guessing wrong twice (Bambi, then Donkey from Shrek) I thought he had it. His next questions went like this....

-Is your character associated with Winnie the Pooh?

Yes

-Does your character smile often?

No

-Has your character tried to kill someone?

wut?

Wish I had gotten a screencap of it. After that it asked me the smile question again and then got it right.

gmillerdrake · « **Reply #17 on:** February 11, 2015, 07:47:29 PM »

It just got 'Tristin Ludlow' from Legends of the Fall

and don't ask me why that's the first person I thought of thinking of....... $:\$

gmillerdrake · « **Reply #18 on:** February 11, 2015, 07:57:24 PM »

It just got John Myung also.

lonestar · « **Reply #19 on:** February 11, 2015, 08:17:57 PM »

Ok, it just got Tommy, as in The Who's Tommy.

gmillerdrake · « **Reply #20 on:** February 11, 2015, 08:29:35 PM »

20 questions to get 'Bam Bam Bigelo' the old school wrestler. This thing is fun.

Dark Castle · « **Reply #21 on:** February 11, 2015, 08:33:21 PM »

Guessed Brent Hinds pretty quickly.
Guessed Grimes even more quickly.

This weirds me out.

LieLowTheWantedMan · « **Reply #22 on:** February 11, 2015, 08:42:48 PM »

Somethings I like is it'll actually ask you if they're a member of Animal Collective if it thinks you're doing a member of the band. It also knows Jeff Mangum of Neutral Milk Hotel is associated with airplanes and Jesus Christ.

Dark Castle · « **Reply #23 on:** February 11, 2015, 09:00:58 PM »

Beat it with good ol' Jef Whitehead, asked me if my person was a member of Fall Out Boy, I said no, and then it guessed somebody from Fall Out Boy
