He didn't get Clara Bow, and he never even heard of Buddy Rogers. Well, he has now!


On the other hand, it took him about 15 questions to guess Thomas Paine.

And he got John Marshall on his very last try!

He got Buddy Holly and Jack Lemmon right
But he failed James Stewart (incorrectly guessing Robert DeNiro after 20q, Charlton Heston 30q and Gregory Peck 40q).

he guessed correctly:

Alien (from alien movie 1979)

Predator (from fox pictures)

Space marine (from the 'Aliens' movie)

Zoey, Coach, Louis (characters from left 4 dead)

John Wayne

Paul Tibbets

Adolf Hitler

Arnold Schwarzenegger

Patton

Cowboy Bebop (Japanese anime)

Dexter (dexter's Lab)

Didi (Dexter's lab)

Drew Barrymore

Adam Sandler

ZED (FROM THE MOVIE ZARDOZ)

Michael "squints" palledorious (from the movie 'sandlot')

Joel (from mystery science theater 3,000)

Johnny Five (from Short Circuit films)

Robocop

Akinator (himself)

HAL 9000 (2001 space odyssey)

and about a dozen others i cant think of right now

I only stumped him on a few... but i think thats because i was unsure of certain info and clicked "i dont know" on several questions in a row

He got Sam Vimes and the Librarian from Discworld.

But he couldn't get der Alte from Das Boot. His guesses were Janek Kos (I think that's what it was), Colonel Klink, and some dude who tried to assassinate Hitler.

He couldn't get Lothar-Gunther Buchheim. Wasn't even in the list of "characters" he knew. Well, it is now.

Maybe because Buchheim hasn't acted or been characterised in any movie? (No, Werner is Werner. )

Or has he? The hell I know.

EDIT: Ow wait, nevermind. I'm a blind mother****er.

Yeh, noticed that too after I had posted. Tho, it does seem to concentrate more on characters from films, telly and games.
