Play 20 Questions against a computer

This program does a good job of guessing what object you are thinking of, even when it disagrees with some of your answers. It asked 16 questions before it correctly asked if I was thinking of a cloud. I said a cloud was "mineral," it said "other." I also said a cloud weighed more than a duck, it said no. When I played again with "shadow" the computer and I disagreed on a bunch of things, which is probably why it gave up:


You were thinking of a shadow.

Can liquids pass through it? you said Yes, I say Doubtful

Are there many different sorts of it? you said No, I say Yes

Do you know any songs about it? you said No, I say Yes

Can it fit in an envelope? you said Yes, I say No

Would you be lost without it? you said No, I say Yes

Is it useful? you said Probably, I say No

Can you touch it? you said Yes, I say No

Can you walk on it? you said Yes, I say Doubtful

Is it flexible? you said No, I say Probably
