<p>This may be old, but it hasn’t ceased to amaze me (although the possiblities of a twenty question test with 5 answers for each and about 6 strings (and I is great 6(5^20) with distinct questions). But anyway…</p>

<p>Think of a common noun.</p>

<p>I beat him!!!</p>

<p>I beat him three times. He won koala and kangaroo in 18 questions each, though.</p>

<p>Cool site. :)</p>

<p>You won!
Is it one of these …
an eyeball
a sofa
a loofah
a uvula
a tuba
a subway
guava
paella
hope
an ovary
an oboe (wood wind)
a hoof
a hub (computer networking)
an oven
a buffalo </p>

<p>Nope. It’s an opal (mineral). Jeez, it wasn’t even close.</p>

<p>I’ve beaten him with some common words, although I my opinion about some questions differed from the common opinion.</p>

<p>uh, kemet. I just did Opal and it got it…make sure you choose “mineral” in the beginning.</p>

<p>You got it because I added it. If you beat it (i.e. it doesn’t know it), it gives you a blank to add it. It gets its information from people playing.</p>

<p>for opal, he guessed cubic zirconia!</p>

<p>I got him with lamppost but he did guess lantern…pretty close.</p>

<p>I won. My animal was an eohippus.</p>

<p>It couldn’t guess tree?

</p>

<p>NO?!?!</p>

<p>ahhaha boo for AI.</p>

<p>How can you say a toilet is not an appliance? That’s total crap!</p>

<p>“The most popular variant is called “Animal, Vegetable, Mineral, Other”. In this version, the answerer tells the questioners at the start of the game whether the object is an animal, vegetable, mineral, or other. The game defines an animal as a member of the animal kingdom, a vegetable as anything of the plant kingdom, a mineral as anything geological, and other as anything else. This can produce some odd technicalities, such as a wooden table being classified as a vegetable (since wood comes from trees).”</p>

<p>You have to say vegetable in beginning.</p>

<p>Beat it with a quark, and then lost in 23 with arsenic and China.</p>

<p>It kinda beat me. I had no idea whether a potato had leafy stalks or leaves. :confused:</p>
