Old, but great. Nicely engineered, based on the positive/accurate responses the engine gets smarter and smarter over time.

Man, it guessed Kara Thrace (BSG), Willow (Buffy) and Doyle (Angel) for me. Pretty impressive.

It figured out Jack Bauer on question 12 or so, I wasn't sure it was going to get Liz Lemon but it did.

Mine are easy, though.

edit: Ohoho it pulled out "is your character Indian" on question 20 for Aziz Ansari. Didn't think it had that either.

It got V (from V for Vendetta) around question 13. Dang.

This is disturbingly entertaining.

Wait, isn't this thing like a year old. I remember doing this last year. Too many people did this website so it knows like everyone. I've beaten it a couple of times though. You can't use dudes that everyone would know. Pop culture and stuff doesn't work. You can use books and stuff. Popular ones are out, but I've used many obscure characters that he doesn't know.

it missed a fairly famous neuroscientist... V.S. Ramachandran and led me to this obscure biologist.

I just tried it again and instead of putting yes for american, i put partially and it got it.

DAMN. Got Antoine Dodson in 20 after asking some fairly general questions, many to which I responded "I don't know" or one of the "probably"s.

EDIT: damn you cKGunslinger.

Okay finally stumped it with BT (Brian Transeau). Didn't ask until question 35 if he was an electronica/house producer. its first guess was Rick Astley, the next guess was "Emo" (???). Final guess was "Your soul".

LOL it got Ramirez. I wasn't sure if it would get it. It did ask "Is your character linked with the COD franchise" very early on, but then asked a bunch of questions that I didn't think were relevant. This thing is good.

Didn't get Aflac Duck until the second guess, ~30-35 questions. First guess was "the ugly duckling", oof close.

OOF. I was thinking of KevJumba's dad, and on the second guess it guessed... KevJumba. Oh well.

Got Sarevok in 20 questions. Didn't think it would but the last two questions nailed him.

I tried about a dozen more from kid's cartoons and random what-not. It got most of them in less than 10.
