The Crave Reader

I was checking my G-mail and there was a link at the top which read something like, "Do you crave pizza? The Crave Reader knew that." I checked it out and Honda has created a 20 Questions-type game to advertise their CR-V and it's called "The Crave Reader". It's actually pretty good. I did it twice (first with sleep then with a job) and it guessed both of them. I'm going to have to think of some harder things and see if it can guess them.

[this is good]

Oooo spooky! There is a new game that came out around Christmas that can do the same thing. I think it is actually called 20 Questions. You think of something, then the machine asks you yes or no questions until it guesses. I've heard it's eerily accurate at guessing too. Machines will take over the world one day!

I was finally able to stump it with both "student" and "space" (although it kept guessing "black hole" and "supernova" for space so it was close). If I had more time I'd keep trying things to stump it with.

Got groundhog... I need to think of more difficult things.

I'm trying to remember what word I almost stumped it with yesterday. I think it might have been "shower". It kept guessing and guessing until it finally just gave me a list of words to choose from. I think trying to stump it is going to be my new obsession.

Heh heh... I stayed home sick yesterday so I played with it for a while. I wish I could remember all the words I used. I actually stumped it with most of these, some it could never guess, some it guessed after 3-5 tries. Fun! Here were the words:
toenail
dragonfly
psychiatrist
Honda CR-V (I thought that one was BRILLIANT)

Haha! I was going to try CR-V myself. That's hilarious that it didn't guess it's own product.
