WEBSITE OF THE DAY - Akinator

Can you put this genie back in his lamp?

And so Pocket-lint starts another week. And we must start this week with an apology to all the countless bosses out there as we reckon a fair few employees are going to spend a lot of their working day trying to catch out the Akinator.

He’s a genie who can read your mind. No, really. He is.

I’m sure some of you will try to explain that it’s all about probability, deduction, obscure and cryptic algorithms maybe. That might well be the case too. All I know is that he guessed some of the most obscure people I could think of inside twenty questions. Try as I might I delved into the darkest recesses of my memory to find the most obscure literary, sporting and musical characters I could recall. He guessed them all. Until I pulled out the big guns.

Wanna know how I put this genie back in his lamp? One word:

Roadrunner.

See if you can outfox him too at uk.akinator.com.
