The Sith Sense: Darth Vader

August 19th, 2005

OK, first evening @home on a friday in, well, a year, so surfing the net for stupid things and drinking Pere Ventura. Suddenly found the mind-reading Darth Vader.

Not that he was able to guess what I was thinking of (Brenda), but I noticed that after around 25 questions I could submit what I was thinking of.

Seems like a very sneaky and nice way to build a great guessing system, because you can choose between 6 answers each time, so (in a perfect world), the system could “guess” 6^25 items, which is around 28,4 * 10e18, which seems large enough to me :)
