It guessed wrong at first, naming Lily Allen; I continued and after about 5 more questions answered correctly Amy Winehouse. I'm guessing about 2 dozen question total, but I didn't keep count.

I tried this..I think the genie had a brain fart. One of the first questions was if the character was a sports figure...said NO. Was asked about 8 more questions re sports. genie's first guess was prince charles..it took 29 questioins to get to Paul McCartney. I have been thinking about him for 45 years...LOL

Default It Gave Up

It guessed Paul Revere. Character I had in mind was Dr. Joseph Warren, forgotten patriot of the American Revolution.

For kicks I tried Steven Tyler right after I read as I was curious about consistancy. I answered "I do not know" twice and it got Stven after the 23rd question. It got it wrong with Bob Jovi at question 20.

Locked-up at the 29th question and guessed wrong once.

Maybe I didn't answer all the questions right but I picked Sam Houston from he Alamo.

I will try again with Sam Houston as these games are very interesting.

I tried it again and after 60 plus questions and several guesses, the game was stumped. I had to add Sam Houston to the list.

Sam Houston of Alamo fame.

Thanks for posting this Indy-Guy.

The game redeemed itself by guessing Dr. Samuel Mudd who set John Wilkes Booth leg after assinating President Lincoln in 27 questions.

FWIW - Roger Mudd's, (the newsman great grandfather). It took him many years to clear his name of wrongdoing. Hence the saying, your name is mud.

About 10 wrong guesses and I lost count of how many attempts; probably over 50 and eventually a list of about 25 names appeared and my choice William Holden (my fav actor) was at the top of the list.
