Do you remember the game of 20 Questions (animal, vegetable or mineral)? You’ve probably played it at some time in your life, either at school or a social gathering. Someone thinks of a word to which your first question is ‘animal’, ‘vegetable’ or ‘mineral’? Responses to your questions can only be ‘Yes’, ‘No’ or ‘Sometimes’. You then get 19 more questions to narrow down what the other person is thinking.

Well, here’s a gadget that will keep you both impressed and amused for many new batteries to come!

This little ball of technology challenges you to think of a word and then proceeds to ask you 20 questions. The questions appear on the LED display and you give your answers via 4 buttons ‘Yes’, ‘No’, ‘Sometimes’, or ‘Unknown’. Now here is the amazing thing…it is spookily accurate!

It even taunts you at times with little messages like ‘You can’t beat me’!

And if it does end up guessing incorrectly, it will ask 5 more questions and have a second guess before it gives up and chalks one up to you.

It’s a continuing source of amusement and is great for kids or adults alike. An ideal travel game or one for the office drawer!

So how does it work? Well, this popular game has been available to play in software form for many years and so it has been possible to refine the huge database that contains all the words known in the dictionary and questions that have been ‘learned’ by the programs over the years. Not forgetting the algorithm (method) which eliminates groups of the stored words based on responses to questions asked. All of this technology can be put onto a chip and presented for your utter amusement!
