Try this character guessing application out......
 
I am not saying this thing is not without it's flaws. Basically it will guess any character you are thinking of within 20 questions. If it guesses incorrectly it will keep going past 20. So I guess given a large enough database it should always end up eventually getting the right answer

It did guess "donkey lips" in 24 questions, so I was pretty impressed.


Try it out here:

Just tried one character but it couldn't get Philip Marlowe.

Tried Lyle Rogers from Ishtar but it's another stumper.

Very cool link though, thanks for sharing!

Re: Try this character guessing application out......
 
18 to get The Girl from My Sassy Girl, 19 to get Major Kusanagi from Ghost in the Shell, 27 to get Korben Dallas from The Fifth Element.

It didn't come up with the lead detective (Park Doo-Man) in Memories of Murder after 50+ guesses, so I had to add him myself. It also didn't get Ink after 60+ guesses, but wouldn't let me add him since "the name is too short" (despite guessing the single-letter character V from V for Vendetta earlier in the game).

Re: Try this character guessing application out......
 
Not bad, got Shawn Spencer from Psych in 20.

Re: Try this character guessing application out......
 
60 guesses couldn't come up with Father Damien Karras. Asked me who my character was and added it to it's database, proclaiming "Well done! But I was pretty close, I will do better next time".

Re: Try this character guessing application out......
 
R Daneel Olivaw in 25 questions, second guess.
Dante in 29, second guess (first was Casanova.) And that was with about 5 I Don't Know answers.

No go on George Segal.

I did get this.
