20 Questions - neat pseudo-classifier

20 Questions is a neat game that shows off what a little A.I. can some (hard-coded) learning can do.

It couldn’t even get close to “*nix virtual terminal”, but perhaps I was being too specific.

Umm, yes you were being too specific, Mark :p

I like this bit, btw:
