Hans Gruber in 20.

Defeated him on Little Fuzzy, and Jimmie Spheeris.

He doesn't know his PBS home improvement shows very well.

Roy Underhill and Richard Trethewey defeated him.

It got Buffy from A Family Affair.

but not the vampire slayer?
What about the red shirt riley from star trek?

Beat it with Smoke Jensen from Johnstone's "The Last Mountain Man" series of novels.

We could do some betting here, or comparing.

OK, everyone go there with a Sleestak in mind. I bet he gets that one quickly. But wouldn't it be interesting to see if he guessed differently if one of us said "probably" or "probably not" or "i don't know"? I wonder if it would drive him to different conclusions.

I'm not saying skew any results. Answer as honestly as you can (because some answers you don't know, or you think maybe or maybe not) and see if any of us get different results.

He can name that Sleestak in...16 notes.

OK, it took 20, but he got it. There were a couple of questions that I found hard to answer so answered "probably" or "probably not."

That's probably a really easy one, but you get the drift.

Riley was in command and wore a gold shirt. Everybody knows that.

Except, apparently, Akinator.

Stumped. Completely.

It figured out for me:

Ernest Hemingway
Jayne Mansfield - and I wasn't sure about some of her details

It figured out Kenny Powers from Eastbound and Down for my son who thought it was cool.

I'm surprised that I stumped it with Winnie the Pooh.

Well, Pete...ahem...Winnie the Pooh is not actually a real person. That might have been where he got confused. Oh, and Winnie is male. Sorry.

:)

Doesn't have to be a real person. One of the questions it asks is is the character real.

I was kidding. I was pretending that you had guessed that he was real.

*fizzle*

attempt at humor: unsuccessful

Defeated it with Dave, from the Imagination Movers (but it did guess Smitty, another character from that show.)
