Akinator, the Web Genius

[Toothless the Night Fury 260]

I just found this quite impressive game through another forum I regularly check on. The objective is to think of ANY character (Game, movie, book, real life, etc.), and you answer 20 questions about that character.

 

After the 20 questions, it'll display the character you're thinking of. I am truly amazed by how accurate this is, and I suggest all of you to try it out! Post some of the characters it guessed!

 

http://us.akinator.com/

 

So far, it guessed the following characters for me:

 

Toothless the Night Fury

Fox Mulder

Applejack

Rarity

Adam Jenson

Bolt

 

Here's a little challenge: Find a character that takes Akinator longer than 20 questions, and post the character, and the number of questions it took him to guess the correct one!

 

I believe the highest number of questions from me was about 40 from Kei Nagase, from the game Ace Combat 5.

Well my minds blown. I'm off to find a replacement.

 

 

Man, he is smart.

 

 

I'll give up eventually.

 

 

I give up. Its too smart. Its unstoppable.

 

 

I am fully convinced. This thing shall lead the robot revolution.

 

And I give up for realz this time.

Yeah I love that akinator!

I should have made a thread on this a while ago! http://mlpforums.com/statuses/id/1763/

[Tom The Diamond 1,830]

 

It took him 25 questions to guess this one.

 

Victory enough for me.

 

And NOW I can leave with grace.

Holy... the episode only came out this Saturday! I can't believe it got this... on its first try!

 

 

Also, I just got this, by answering that the character "probably wasn't" human, and that she "sometimes" stands on two legs.

 

[Kapi 215]

Took him 14 for Rainbow Dash.

25 for Darkwing Duck. His first guess was Donald Duck. Close, but not close enough!

[Starshine 16,333]

He can't even guess any random critter from World of Warcraft

 

The tip is, just use the most unknown characters, like squeaky clean or that window cleaner pony from canterlot

[GrooveBroove 680]

IIt awesome how accurate he can be

 

I beat him using Alan Grant from Jurassic Park

 

Though if i'd have gone on hed have figured it out

[SrFrog 927]

10 games in a row and it's been flawless with it's answears.

bored? try this http://en.akinator.com
this is the 20 questions of characters, this genie can guess what
character youre thinking of, and he will be right 95% of the time, from
real to fictional, he will guess... its almost scary

[Celtore 2,770]

Argh! I hate it when he's right! I've managed to trick it with a few obscure doctors and scientists but for the most part, it's pretty accurate.

 

EDIT: It even figured out Star Swirl the Bearded despite only being done 74 times!

lol, i think its amazing how he is ALWAYS right, ive yet to get him wrong, hes proved many video game characters, old tv show characters, and even himself and cleverbot

[MelancholicMemory 2,025]

Akinator is amazing. I used to always play it in business class back in high school. I was constantly developing ways to trick it. At the time, I got it with Little Miss Rarity, among many other things.

[Moog the Kvlt 1,460]

I used to use the Akinator all of the time a while ago

Then I just kind of got bored of messing around on it

It's really fun to use, but it just dies out quickly for me

[Justin 16]

God, I've played this quite a lot in school when I get bored. It is rather mind blowing once you start thinking of obscure characters and Akinator gets it right, such a book characters or hockey players. It is a fun little toy to mess around with, and especially see all the possibilities.

Believe it or not, we already had a topic discussing this...so I went ahead and merged the two together.

 

When thinking about making a thread, please use the search function beforehand~

Hey how did you get your computer to be trixie themed? Do they have it for luna, and will it work on Windows 8?

I simply must have it! ;P

[Chigens and Kay 3,832]

HOW HOW HOW DID HE GET THIS ONE!?

 

 

He is just too smart for me...like he didn't even have to try. I give up...

 

Nah! One more time!

 

AAAAAAnnnndddd....he got it right again...

 

[Kitty Cat Moonshire 629]

It took him 4 tries to finally guess Princess Luna. I'm angry at him now, Luna should be the first thing he thinks of every time ^-^

[Loona 287]

 

This guy is good. But that little cheater, I saw him using his phone. 

I actually tricked him the first time. He guess Princess Luna instead of GamerLuna.

[Steve 290]

it took him forty five questions to guess kevin from ed, edd, 'n' eddy

 

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat

[Harmonic Revelations 8,835]

Akinator is ANCIENT. This website has been around for more than ten years, OP. Anyways, he guessed right.

 

 

I would post my results but I can't because I was thinking of a porn star.

[FoxyCryptid 4,330]

This one took him into the second round(I lost track of how many questions) And has been used 1670 times.

 

 

 

This one took 46, and has been used 156 times

 

 

I manged to stump him with Hugh Fitzcairn from Highlander at 80 questions(and the character is not in his DB.)

 

Of interest:

 

 

This one took 50+, and was played 102 times

 

 

Stumped him at 80 again with Lance from "Silent Ponyville"

 

He couldn't guess the Colt from the same fic either, but it is in his DB, so I'm going to guess "lack of data"

 

He predictably got this one in under 15, but I did it just for fun anyway

 

 

Almost hit 40 here, he gave two wrong guesses(I'm amazed how fast we bronies work)

I've been familiar with this site for a few years, this is the first time I've seen the new layout though. One of my personal favorite inclusions is "The guy who won't let you leave Pewter City until you battle Brock"... and you can get him in under thirty.
