you know what we should do?

submit a database of our poly name and see if it accepts them.

then maybe we can try to guess how to get each other.

we can learn about each other by guessing the answer to the questions too.

Well, there you have it, I was wrong again. I was positive that you were Ferdinand Marcos from Philippines! But you are far too clever for a puny computer like me. Now you can go and tell everyone while I sit here and try to put the pieces of my crumbled existence back together.
You can help me with one thing, though. If you tell me who you were and give me a good yes/no question, then I'll be able to guess it right next time. Wouldn't that be nice? But please, try to pick a general question that would be answered "yes" for some characters and "no" for some others. For example, "Are you Monica's brother?" is a bad question, because the answer is "no" for many many characters and "yes" for very few.


Beat it on the first try with Taira Kiyomori. What a lame program...

Suffering from ads?

the computer got some answers wrong though...

"Were you the first pharaoh?"

if you say yes, they guess Djoser who wasnt the first pharaoh. if you say no, they guess Narmar who actually was the first pharaoh.

I just stuck MichaeltheGreat down as a dictator.
Bit of an unfair description, I admit, but I think I may have made up for it by submitting "Are you omniscient?" as my question that has to be answered Yes.

Nobunaga and Hideyoshi are both in there somewhere, as well. There's a "did you attempt to invade Korea" question that leads to Hideyoshi (even though Hideyoshi actually did invade Korea). A "were you assasinated by your own general" question leads to Nobunaga, obviously, but so does a "did you win the Onin War" question, which is blantantly wrong, given that Nobunaga wasn't even alive when the Onin War ended. Pretty crap history is being entered into this program...
