>The Fear puzzle reminds me of the toy I have called 20Q. It asks you 20 yes no questions and it reads your mind. I was in a Toys R Us and a friend told me about it. I said if it can guess what I'm thinking, I'll buy one. I was thinking a Saturn V Rocket. Twenty Questions later it says "Is it a rocket?" It's right much more often than wrong and when it's wrong it's very close.

>a tractor, a cantelope, a palmagrant, french fries, dental floss, a straw. You can even try adult body parts and it gets those right too.
