As a proud recipient of a 20 Questions game last Christmas as a stocking stuffer, I am most distressed to learn of its being used as a vessel for the devil weed. Fathers, lock up your daughters if this is what's to become of an innocent electronical diversion!
I was actually surprised at how reasonably well the thing is on its answers, despite the stupid, vague questions ("Does it bring joy to people?" Well, I guess scissors would, indirectly, if they were being used to open up a package...). I was able to beat it, however, by thinking of the 20 Questions ball itself, which it did not guess.
It was a proud victory of man over machine, and it felt very much like when the Justice League use their human creativity to beat Amazo or something. "Well you see, Flash, the 20Q ball's weakness is that the game itself is not in its own programming. Green Lantern and I used the ball's own lack of self-awareness to defeat it with a meta-solution." |
