I was joking with a friend that a good quiz on OKCupid would be "Band name, drink, or sexual position?" The quiz would have a list of 10 names and you'd have to guess which was which, in the spirit of "Asshole or elbow?" or "Sex toy or dog toy?" But then, I couldn't think of any good items for the list.
Ever played 20 Questions? The first question is always "Is it animal, vegetable, or mineral?" I always prefer playing the answering side to the guessing side.
Anyways, 20 Questions.net has an online 20 questions game. Interestingly, when you are done playing (it will take up to 30 questions, actually) it gives you a few lists.
I thought of a human being. Here's what the AI had to say about some contradictions in our opinions:
"Is it fuzzy? You said Sometimes, I say No.
Can any age group use it? You said No, I say Yes.
Is it originally from Africa? You said Yes, I say No.
Is it ferocious? You said Yes, I say No.
Is it dangerous? You said Yes, I say Doubtful."
Now, these are based on other people's answers-- how can you NOT say human beings are from Africa?
Similar objects in its database:
"a gladiator (Roman), a knight, a ninja, anmitsu (bean paste with honey), a criminal, an enemy, tokoyaki (fried octopus), a banana pepper, a cousin, an elf, a sumo wrestler, an ape."
"Uncommon Knowledge about a human being
(20Q thinks these may be wrong)
Can it growl? I say Doubtful.
Is it formed from carbon? I say Doubtful.
Can it be used in remote areas? I say Probably.
Is it comforting? I say Yes.
Is it awake at night? I say No.
Is it used for entertainment? I say No."
I talked to someone about a person named what sounded like Maia or Maya, but it was spelled Mya. I couldn't help thinking "Million years ago?"
