It guessed Cup in 19 guesses, Golf Ball in 15 Guesses and Postage Stamp in 17 Guesses. It tells you after it's done what answeres it thought were contradictory.

I stumped it with soup.

It asked if it was Red, I said sometimes. In the list of contradictions, it said that soup wasn't red. I guess it's never seen tomato soup.

i played that a couple weeks ago...

17Q to yeti
28Q to figure out surge protector
17Q to pick pimple

I won when I asked it for SPAM heehee

I can't remember what I asked it a couple weeks ago, but it couldn't figure it out even told me that it would not answer such dirty mind...

I didnt' ask anything bad, it was just a question it couldn't answer. that was funny.

poaching shovel???

Do you whack the lord's deer with a thing like that?
MarkO

Nope, but it's great for poaching plants! ;)

It's a shovel with a long narrow blade and generally a shorter, stockier handle. Good for digging plants up.

Human Being

Does it make music? I say Doubtful.
Would you be lost without it? I say Doubtful.
Does it provide protection? I say No.
Does it eat seeds? I say Doubtful.



I guess I'm not a human being. I use numbers and do data analysis (process data), ocassionally I sing, I certainly would be lost without me, or my wife. I provide protection for the dog (I think), and there are seeds in my trail mix.

Hmm, I must be something else. Hmmm....
