This seems almost completely useless. I tried ten questions, and only one was answered, incorrectly (Moby Dick question misunderstood, answered as "novel by Herman Melville"). I think even Ask Jeeves back in the 90s had better performance than this. Questions tried:
how many lines of resolution are there in an ntsc television signal?
what is the melting point of tin/lead eutetic solder?
what species of whale was moby dick?
what grain is most often used to make beer?
what is the boiling point of water?
how many chromosomes does a normal human have?
what animal is known as "man's best friend"?
what fps did id software release in 1993?
what is the largest known prime number?
what is the clock rate of the arduino uno?
As a comparison, Google gives 8 correct answers directly (either as an special info box, or as highlighted part of a web page), 1 correct answer as the 2nd search result (Doom), and 1 incorrect answer (largest known prime).

- azpoliak1 10y ago"This seems almost completely useless" - seems pretty harsh. Someone making a cool project, open sourcing it, and documenting it really well is something that should be praised. Of course Google is going to do much better, its a company focused on search.
