20 questions game AI

Here is an AI playing the 20 questions game:
http://y.20q.net:8095/btest
By the way, it didn't guess "condom" although it did ask if it is flexible, if it goes inside other things, and if it is found in churches. In fact, its first wrong guess was "chewing gum".

i gave it the abstract idea of "Nothing" to gues at:
it didn't win, but it had some interesting things to say to me about
how i (how else can i interpret it?) wasn't playing fair:
<snip>
You were thinking of nothing.
Can you buy it at a store? You said Yes, I say No.
[many times have a walked into a store, and bought nothing]
Can you put something into it? You said Yes, I say No.
[by logical default, you can put something into nothing...or am i
mistaken?<where '0=nothing' and 'N=something' you can always add
N to 0>]
Can you eat it? You said Yes, I say No.
[once again, many times have i eaten nothing]
Does it come in a box? You said Sometimes, I say No.
[you've never received a box with nothing in it?]
Can you use it at school? You said Yes, I say No.
[there were times at school when i used nothing]
Could it be found in a classroom? You said Yes, I say No.
[the classroom *cannot* be empty?]
Do you use it at work? You said Sometimes, I say No.
[do i need to comment on doing nothing at work?]
Can you hold it? You said Yes, I say No.
["what are you holding?" ..."nothing..."]
Would you find it in an office? You said Sometimes, I say No.
[empty office, just like the empty room]
most amusing...
i salute whomever found this, whoever created this,
and the quasisentient (at least info adaptive) program
that returned such Qs and As, as well as his "poor sport"
way of telling me, no...i was wrong, he was right...he just let me
win because i cheated..
hehe,

Interesting attemt:

Can you find it in a church: yes
Is it considered valuable: yes
Can you play games with it: yes
I forget what the whole course of the dialogue was, but It wound up
getting stumped. I was thinking of guilt :]
AIs are so fun to play with :]

First I tried benzene. AI finally guessed hydrogen.
Next I treid nail clippers. The AI got it.
Finally I tried a coffee pot, and it failed that one, guessing trashcan. I went on letting it keep asking questions on that one. Finally at the 28th question it got coffee pot. That one surprised me at how long it took.
-Jake
addendum: I also tried ladybug, and it got that pretty quickly. The last one I tried was a chant. It finally told me that it wasn't in it's knowledge database, but I thought that "magic" was a very good guess considering that magic often involves chanting, so even though it "lost" I think it did almost as well as one could hope for something that wasn't in the database. the following is what it guessed.
I am guessing that it is fun? Yes , No , Close
29. I guess it a genie? No.
28. Was it invented? No.
27. Is it something you can purchase? Doubtful.
26. Does it involve contact with other humans? Probably.
25. Can you find it in a house? Probably.
24. Could it be found in a classroom? Doubtful.
23. Is it considered valuable? Irrelevant.
22. Is it comforting? Yes.
21. Was it used over 100 years ago? Yes.
20. I guess it magic? No.
19. Do you use it at work? No.
18. Can you buy it at a store? Irrelevant.
17. Would you find it in an office? Doubtful.
16. Is it usually visible? No.
15. Can it fit in an envelope? Irrelevant.
14. Is it hard? No.
13. Can you use it at school? Probably.
12. Does it have a hole in it? No.
11. Does it have writing on it? No.
10. Is it smaller than a loaf of bread? Irrelevant.
9. Can it be washed? No.
8. Does it break if dropped? Irrelevant.
7. Can it make a sound? Yes.
6. Is it usually colorful? Irrelevant.
5. Is it heavier than a pound of butter? Irrelevant.
4. Can you play with it? Yes.
3. Do most people use this daily? Doubtful.
2. Is it something you bring along? Yes.
1. It is classified as Other. ? Exit
You win
Is it one of these . . . passion joy an affair massage oil a musical note the wind a voice an orchestra an angel a riddle paradise love a ghost a fire the ocean an emotion a scream a fantasy a lake gas a miracle a game reincarnation a domestic cat an ocean wave snoring witchcraft a kiss a poltergeist a song laughter a party an echo an embryo a burp a baseball game a sigh a river feelings a marching band
PS - the last thing I tried was a lawyer. It didn't get it, and it seems like it wasn't even in the database. Very surprising! It did guess boxer, so it did seem to be getting that pugilistic aspect down but never figured it out. -Jake

[rhinoceros]
That reminded of the old party game where someone thinks of a weird story and the rest try to figure it out by asking questions and getting yes/no answers.
There was a story where someone died of a heart attack while returning to his village from the city. The questions went like this:
Did something happen? Yes.
Did he see something? No
Did he hear something? No
Did he smell something? No
Did he taste something? No
Did he touch something? No
Did he remember something? No
... What the hell?
The trick was that seeing nothing was disturbing for him in the context of the story.
