19 questions also for hockey stick

This reminds me of another program that asks yes or no questions to find the name of a sitcom character or brutal dictator. If the program guesses wrong, you are prompted to enter the name of the person you were thinking of and a yes or no question that would distinguish the two. Your question is then asked to future user arriving at that point. Some of the questions are pretty comical.

Beat it!

First try: Komodo Dragon. Not obscure enough! only 19 questions!
Second Try: Cane Toad. 30 guesses, beat it. Third Try: A Mask. 30 guesses, beat it. Fourth Try: Cockroach, 28 guesses. So close! Fifth Try: Laser Beam: 27 guesses, close! 2nd to last try: A picture frame: 30 guesses, won again! Last try: Gamelan. 30 guesses, no knowledge-base entry for it at all! Better quit while I'm ahead!

twice

I beat it twice.

Of course, it didn't agree with a few of my responses. I didn't answer the questions the way it thought I should have, but some of the questions were a little vauge.

My items were a 'rat' and 'Milk.'
