The DB and coding behind this is just amazing, IMO.

That is the other part of this. I noticed that it asks you to add the person if he didn't guess so I was thinking of trying again after it has been here for a while to see how quickly it "learns".

He knows Chris Sharma.

Edit: Tried it again and realized it learns and adds name to its database. So it probably didn't know any climbers when you first tried =)

it got james watson wrong. it guessed calvin klein!

even though watson WAS in the database. it doesn't seem to have a question for "is your person a scientist," though one of the questions was has your person been on the moon, so it was trying.

Pretty cool

I chose two fantasy books I read back in the day

It guessed "Pug" from Raymond E. Feist's series Magician

It did not guess "Relkin" from Christopher Rowley's Basil Broktail series

I was still impressed

but getting better. has correctly guessed Saladin, Joseph Smith, Charles Manson, and chose Hernan Cortes when I was thinking of Francisco Coronado, which is pretty good.

Eric Sloan - "A Reverence for Wood," and other books. Writer & illustrate of American tradition.
Nope - not even in the lists.

BTW - I told it "No" to Science Fiction Writer. However, Isaac Asimov still appeared in the possiblities list. Go figure.

So I was trying to get it to guess me and it guessed "my clone"

When I tried to correct it I accidentally clicked on something called "penis worm"

Unsure

This is not how I want to be remembered
