I know this isnt the first game of its kind, typically called '20 questions' BUT HOW does it figure this stuff out. I only managed to get it up to 24 questions before it got mine right. All the rest it got in 20 or less.

They use a database that is constantly narrowed as you answer the questions. Eventually, it's narrowed down to one thing.
Pissed Off?

yeah but how can a few general questions narrow it down that well?

I tried "Star Wars".

It guessed "Game Boy". Then it guessed radio. Then it guessed 20 Questions. Then kazoo.

Then it gave me a list and "movie" was on it. So I accepted that.

Haha, I was thinking of the car they were trying to advertise and it guessed "a tank"
2007-11-28, 1:17 PM #20

That's a really crappy one. It was bad at guessing really easy things like coffee and tacos.

Wow. Was thinking lightsaber and it got "sword" around Q17, with nothing to even hint that it was a weapon to begin with. Q22 got it to "saber".

I was thinking of tissue, but I laughed none the less. The trick is to think of something random and stupid.
