wow it guessed turbine in 28 questions even though a lot of
the questions didn't seem like theyd help much to narrow it
down.. like it asked about size and weight, but a turbine
could be smaller than a microwave oven or bigger than my
room

Yes that's right! At university, we had to write such
program, by means of LISP. The algorithm can't be called
"guessing".

i couldn't make it guess a nurse.

it wondered if "it" laid eggs, had a long tail, fur, if i
would use "it" in the dark, if i would pay to use "it", if
"it" had wheels and other completely weird questions...
