Given that it's a relatively small solution set, it isn't really that impressive from a computing perspective...the tough part would be compensating for all of the bad data that is entered by people that don't really know the answers to the questions being asked. But it is interesting.

I'm guessing at this point that the end message is random, since there were really no questions that would have singled out Shaka Zulu until the last two out of 15 or 20...that's too bad, it would be interesting to be able to see more of what's going on behind the scenes.

You won this time, puny mortal! And I fail again. I guess my parents were right, I'll always be a failure. I guess it's time to start looking for a new job.
But maybe you can help me so that I'll do better next time. In the form below, enter your character and a yes/no question that I can use to guess the character. For example, if you were pretending to be Gilligan from Gilligan's Island, and I guessed that you were the Skipper from Gilligan's Island, a good yes/no question would be "Are you thin?" or "Do you often break things?". Please please please try to make your question as general as possible.


i think this is the best response.
