Lets see, if each question produces one of four conclusive results, with 20 questions, and assuming each question divides the pool of possibilities in exactly a quarter...

thats 4^20 possible ids, or 1099511627776 unique sets of answers.

not that I really expect 'akinator' to live up to that, after all, he needs to ask some bogus questions to filter out crap like yes man, and no.

I swear this damn thing searches your last searches.
What better way to answer your question?

I wonder how many people try to stuff it with self-insertions and in-jokes that only he and his one friend are privy to. That sort of thing really bloated Urbandictionary.

What do you expect? More people know of a homeless guy (downstairs) than know of Toady.

Btw, the picture of me ('you!!!') is a chimpanzee.
Totally accurate.

I think I read that they moderate additions.

Google translate http://fr.akinator.com/faq.html, as the english one doesn't seem to work.

As you can imagine, some of his characters created several copies, others are not real characters and end up being deleted by our moderators.

Better hope that your additions remain popular, or that they have stopped moderating them.

Morul:

Ten questions: 'Dwarf (Dwarf Fortress)'
(I did do this one three times before, and it guesses it earlier every time.)

Ended up with 'Your RPG Character'.

Morul didn't even get on the list.
