I hate playing these kinds of games, at least with most people, because they simply can’t answer the questions correctly. It’s frustrating beyond belief. Just one example, I once narrowed it down to a fictional character, so I asked “Was it invented after 1980?” and got a “yes”. The answer, after many failures, was Alice in Wonderland. I’m sure it’s my brain that just works differently here, but I can’t for the life of me figure out why people would choose subjects they don’t know the most basic facts about.
- bmitc 4y agoTo play the devil’s advocate, it isn’t a clear question. Invented is ambiguous, and there are certainly works created after that date, such as movies and video games. If they meant the book, then yes, of course it’s a bad answer. It’s a game though, not an exercise in pure logical deduction.

Because most people think of something hard to guess as opposed to something they know a lot of facts about. Part of being good at 20 question is being good at handling wrong answers to your questions. Production grade 20 question AIs do not just do a binary search because it is too easy for the human to make a mistake in answering and then the computer won't win. In order to improve the chances of winning, the AI must be robust against a small percentage of wrong answers being given to it.
