20Q!
Seriously, those 20Q toys FREAK ME OUT! I went shopping for Sean's kids' Christmas presents earlier today and got stuck trying, in vain, to stump one. I tried the bigger one that's more accurate and I could not get it! It guessed atom bomb after asking all questions that had nothing to do with a bomb at all. It guessed black hole!
I tried to stump it with a penis, and it stopped at question 18 (is it shaped like a hot dog) to tell me to get my mind out of the gutter. It also corrected me:
Can it be easily moved? You said Unknown, I say Yes.
Does it come from an animal? You said Unknown, I say No.
Does it come in many varieties? You said Unknown, I say Yes.
Is it a tool? You said Unknown, I say Yes.
It's a tool, says the all-knowing 20Q.
It guessed a freakin' quark! Correcting me again:
Does it come in a pack? You said Unknown, I say No.
Could you send it in the mail? You said Unknown, I say No.
Can it be measured? You said Unknown, I say Yes.
Can it be easily moved? You said Unknown, I say Yes.
Is it useful? You said No, I say Yes.
Can you see through it? You said Unknown, I say No.
It's free at 20q.net.
Nerdy update: So I thought, fine, you guess a small subatomic particle. Aren't quarks just the obvious choice. Thinking I'm so smart, I decide to try "neutrino" -- it got it. I am currently concocting conspiracy theories that only the most psychotic paranoid schizophrenic would consider...
