How do you respond to the 20-question argument that there are only of order 2^20 "knowledge items" ?
The granularity of knowledge items for 20 Questions and the number 20 are specifically chosen to match each other, to make the game fair. While never explicitly stated, everyone understands that e.g. 'a book' is a fair topic for 20 Questions, but 'Alice in Wonderland' is not. Yet we do know about 'Alice in Wonderland', and any attempt to duplicate human abilities must take that into account. ----- This list is sponsored by AGIRI: http://www.agiri.org/email To unsubscribe or change your options, please go to: http://v2.listbox.com/member/?list_id=303
