Using (it appears) a simple binary 'expert system' but with an impressively complete database.

this will guess a TV character from a series of yes/no answers (it says sitcom character but it has obviously been taught plenty of others). It took an impressively few number of questions to correctly guess (you can see I was setting it harder challenges as I went)
- Basil Fawlty - Rimmer - Baldrick - Mrs Slocombe - Daisy from Spaced - Brian from Spaced (impressive result - minor character of obscure prog, only released in UK)
When trying to guess 'Vila' it suggested Dr Smith from Lost in Space and Blake, both of which I thought were pretty good guesses. People may wish to teach it other B7 characters if they want.
