Took about 20 questions to get Sir Isaac Newton.
Must draw on a HUGE database of information.

I haven't checked it out but it sounds like a version of "20 Questions"
This was a game show on radio years ago and there have probably been TV versions also.
20 questions asked in a logical fashion should solve 99.9999% of questions from a good dictionary or encyclopedia. Lets face it 2 to the 20th power gives a mammoth number of yes/no answers. The panel could only be stumped with very obscure items.
I would suspect that there have been a few computer programs that use this simple routine to sort through 2 to the 20th answers.

He took three attempts to come up with Johannes Kepler.  Still got there though! 
Fun!

He he, that is a great time waster.
It got my Galileo, Papa Smurf, John McLean and Kerry Packer very easily.
Have to think of something more obscure.

He didnt know Gronk from "Its about time" a series made in the 60's that I loved as a kid. I must say that very few people ever remember this series, it was a typical silly USA made sitcom right up there with Gilligan and McHales, Bewitched etc. Good clean fun though.
Cheers, Dennis.

I thought of Hans-Ulrich Rudel. It took the Genie 2 guesses, but he got it. VERY surprised!

Meat Loaf, Steve Vai, Orianthi, Paul Hogan, Branford Marsalis, George RR Martin - got them all in 1 or 2 guesses.
Love to know how it works

I have tried several times now and he cant get Grant Kenny for some reason? Odd considering how famous Grant is and how obscure some of the other answers were? I guess he is only as good as his database.

It can't find James Oliver Rigney, or his pen name Robert Jordan.

Got him... thinking it would be American based, I tried to think of an obscure Aussie personality...
'Strop' from the Paul Hogan show.. 50 questions and three guesses (Russel Coit, Nudge from Hey Dad and Graham Kennedy), he gave up and I had to tell him...
Plenty of fun trying to outwit him... Hehehe
