Q20. I am guessing that it is Syd Barrett?
RIGHT!


19. Are you friends with the rich and famous? No.
18. Did you have a Top 40 hit in 2005? No.
17. Were you a teen sensation? No.
16. Are you known for wearing black? No.
15. Do you have children? No.
14. Have you won an American Music award? No.

13. Have you been in more than one band? No.
12. Have you released more than 5 albums? No.
11. Are you more than one person? No.
Are you big? Unknown.
10. Are you a guitarist? Sometimes.
9. Do you perform Rock? Yes.
8. Are you British? Yes.
7. Have you ever used drugs? Yes.
6. Do you have a star on the Canadian Walk of Fame? No.
5. Is your music ever censored on the radio? Probably.
4. Were you popular in the '80s? No.
3. Do you have long hair? Yes.
2. Are you a solo artist? Sometimes.
1. It is classified as Person.

I'm impressed, specially that some questions (the bolded ones) did seem really far from what's going on.


Edit: I thought I would get it the second time ... but I failed !

Q19. I am guessing that it is Serge Gainsbourg?
RIGHT!


18. Were you popular in the '80s? Yes.
17. I guessed that it was John Lennon? Wrong.
16. Are you a guitarist? Probably.
15. Do you perform Rock? Yes.
14. Have you been involved in a scandal? Probably.
13. Were you popular in the '60s? Yes.
12. Are you still alive? No.
11. Do you play the piano? Yes.
10. Did you tour in the last two years? No.
9. Have you been inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame? No.
8. Do you play an instrument? Yes.
7. Were you popular in the '40s? No.
6. Did you perform in the Ozzfest tour? No.
5. Have you had a Top 40 hit in the last 5 years? No.
4. Do you have blond hair? No.
3. Were you married to someone famous? Yes.
2. Are you an all male band? No.
1. It is classified as Person.

So from what I gathered, the difference between Gainsbourg and Lennon is that one was still popular in the 80s the other got shot in the 80s.

Wow, this shit is amazing...:laughing:

NumberNineDream 11-03-2009 03:48 PM

I hate these parts, telling me where I answered wrong!!

You were thinking of Serge Gainsbourg.
Were you married to someone famous? You said Yes, 20Q was taught by other players that the answer is Doubtful.

It got Jeff Buckley for me. Pretty smart machine but failed to get Walter Becker

CanwllCorfe 11-03-2009 05:39 PM

I went with a mainstream trance artist (ATB) and it got it right in 28 questions. If I went with someone like Tom Colontonio or Kyau vs. Albert I probably would have stumped it.

music_phantom13 11-03-2009 09:51 PM

It's not that the game isn't all that bright, it's that the people playing aren't too bright.

You were thinking of Kurt Cobain.
Are you used to record music? You said No, 20Q was taught by other players that the answer is Probably.

That means that the majority of people said Kurt Cobain was probably used to record music... It won in 17 though.

I also tried Stephen Malkmus and lost, apparently because Pavement is mainstream, not popular with teenagers, and has toured in the last 2 years... WTF people are dumb.

Mojo 11-04-2009 04:30 AM

It got Iron Maiden after 28 questions.

Michael Owen after 20.

Do you have a star on the Canadian Walk of Fame? 20Q says Doubtful.

Are you from the southern United States? 20Q says Doubtful.
Are you a city? 20Q says Doubtful.

Beat it. I thought of 'tortoise'. It guessed 'snapping turtle' at Q25 and cuz I'm a nice person I let it have it. Even though they're different animals.

Mwaahahhaa I won I won. I played the Simpsons 20 Questions and thought of Homer's electric hammer and it didn't get it. YAY. I feel like my life is pretty much complete now.
