OK it got Teddy Bear in 18 questions...I liked the other stuff it came up with though!

The next time you're out of bourbon, hug a teddy or a pair of trousers. They're very similar...and watch out that your teddy washes regularly; they're sweaty beasts. But probably domesticated.

I was able to beat it with shutters. In fact, I don't think it had ever even heard of shutters before.

The concept behind this is really interesting. You can narrow down any group of items to 1 if you keep dividing by 2. So 20/2 = 10 , 10/2 = 5, 5/2 = 3, 3/2 = 2, 2/2 = 1 .. This means the system has to choose a question which will eliminate at least half of the things in the database.. With 20 questions that means the system can narrow down 2^20 (or about one million) things to one, only if it asks the right questions. Pretty cool.
