 		TP: Partial keywords
Since turingprinciple has been throwing out hints, I thought I would try and compile a list of partial keywords. You know you've stumbled across part of a keyword if she says "tap tap". Try parts of the sentence to narrow down the specific word. It could be anything!

THE LIST SO FAR:

think
thing
nothing (or maybe just "thing")
hint
which
hidden
machine
hi
ching
Philip
this
children
his

 		To check the theory of "partial" keywords, go back to known keywords and enter a portion of that already successful phrase.

If it doesn't work, you have to wonder about the partial keyword theory.

I'm sorry, but this is total garbage.

If it were true, you could take part of a known keyword phrase and get the same reply. It simply doesn't happen.

As we know, certain words trigger certain scripted replies. What you have there is a list of ambiguous words, many of them greetings or pronouns, or stuff that doesn't trigger other replies, so they generate "tap tap". There is no indication that tap tap "means" you're close to a keyword. If you have proof, to the contrary, I'd love to see it.
