It will actually go to 40 questions...depending on your answers.

On the other hand...I hand absolutely no idea what I was doing, what the purpose of the website is/was, and what the heck "character" is this website even referring to???:Confused:

My character was Jacques Derrida and it guessed Jean-Paul Sartre, then Michel Foucault (which doesn't make sense based on some of my answers) and then Jacques Derrida. So, that was kind of interesting - it kept within the same realm (20th century French philosophers).

The whole premis here is:
You think of a living thing. Animal or human. Can be real or not real like a cartoon or video game character. And the website has 20 questions to guess who you thought of. Provided you answer the questions is asks correctly based on the person/animal you thought of. And the whole point of the program is to say it using this format can correctly guess anyone.

And character is the person/animal you thought of.

I'll choose 5 people, and see if it can correctly guess my characters.

EDIT

So I chose 5 charcaters:

Steve Jobs
Bugs Bunny
George Bush
James bond
Tony Kanaan

Was not able to guess Kanaan. 4/5 right, and it usually asked very specific questions about my character around questions 10-13

Norwood is a Mid-2010 15 inch MacBook Pro with 10.11.1.
I tried a bunch of people, just to see if I could stump it. :)

1. Russell Brand.
2. Noel Fielding.
3. Josie Long.
4. Simon Amstell.
5. John McCartney (Paul McCartney's grandfather in A Hard Day's Night - played by Wilfrid Brambell).

Of those, Akinator guessed Russell Brand, Noel Fielding, and Simon Amstell. It thought Josie Long was Russell Howard (right profession, wrong gender), and Paul's grandfather was Mark Renton from Trainspotting.

Man, that thing is good...I never would have imagined it would have guessed my first character who only appeared in one video game.
