4. It genuinely doesn't know some people.
I decided to try two US politicians, a Democrat and a Republican. It didn't know either.

6. I successfully stumped it on "Jack Tripper from Three's Company"
but then added it into the DB so maybe it will catch him next time.

Good thing I didn't have any work to do today...

36. I stumped it with Christabel Pankhurst.
Its first guess was Elizabeth I, second guess Emily Bronte, third guess Jane Austen.


Christabel and Emmeline Pankhurst are the subjects of the Masterpiece Theater series "Shoulder to Shoulder" about the suffragettes in England and the abuse and jail and force-feeding they endured.

37. William Penn Stumped it
Odo took a second try.

Tom Bombadil was apparently a breeze. Given that I have internal conflictions on what/who exactly he was and how to answer many questions, I find that impressive.

42. He keeps a very pretty picture of Michelle Obama there
He's very good but I've stumped him quite a few times now. He doesn't recognize Colonel Hogan or Sergeant Schultz from Hogan's Heroes even though both names come up on the database which he pulls up after he concedes that you've beaten him. He also didn't recognize Rajiv Gandhi, the former Prime Minister of India, even though that name is also on his database. The first time round on the Rajiv Gandhi question, he came up with Prime Minister Nehru -which in all fairness is pretty close, since Nehru was Rajiv Gandhi's grandfather. After he kept trying to guess the identity, he came up with Boris Yeltsin for his second guess :wtf: and his third guess was Yitzhak Rabin of Israel:shrug:

46. Very impressive. It got Sayid Jirrah in 8 or 9 guesses. It got Captain Ahab in 15 - 20
It took a wrong turn about half way through and said Lenny from "Of Mice and Men"

I'm going to go for that other Lenny and see how well it does
