Akinator, the web genius who's developer must've been one very bored guy.

He got Mayor Macready from Little Lamplight on the second go.
It took a long time to get Bryan Wilks though.

It didn't get Immacolata from Weaveworld. It also seemed to struggle with Nick Stone from Andy Mcnabb's novels. However I read above that books aren't really its strong point, that's probably why.

To be fair, half of the ones he lost were my fault because I was doing very odd things that I hardly knew about to trick it.
Rare guesses-
Ben Yahtzee Croshaw
That Guy With the Glasses
Hal, Wall-E's FRICKING COCKROACH
Porkins, from Star Wars IV
Plo Koon. Out of all of the alien Jedis, it guessed Plo Koon right.

I didn't guess Mom from Fallout 2. It went through practically every female vendor in fallout 3 though lol.
It got Femshep, Dr. McNinja, the Black Hat Guy from XKCD, and Gnome Chomsky (the gnome from Half-Life), but then took two tries to get Erin Stout. Tsk. I'm gonna go see what it knows about Tim Langdell now.
EDIT: Victory! Langdell was in the database, but Akinator was completely unable to guess him. Notable incorrect guesses include Bill Gates and IcyFrog.

I was pretty pleasantly surprised that he guessed Kukichiyo on his first guess, but stumped it with Gudrun. Guess his normal public doesn't really enjoy early German literature. (Truth to be told: I can't blame them)
He got James Maynard Keenan on his third try, which somewhat surprised me - figured he'd be more known than that.
EDIT: he neither did get Pope Julius II - but he did guess pretty quickly that I was talking about a renaissance pope. Sadly he went offtopic after trying Clement VII.
He's very good at popular culture, but it's not that hard to beat him if you start on the stuff that's probably unknown to the average 15-25 year old.
