Ever Play 20 Questions?

This is a pretty cool game: 20Q.net. I’ve played it several times now and am amazed each time that it guesses what I’m thinking. I’ve only stumped it a couple of times but for the most part it guesses or is very very close.

The neat thing about this program is that it learns. This is the type of technology search engines need to learn how what results are most relevant to the searcher and what are not.
