The program got Frodo Baggins correct after one long series of questions, but could not get Philip Marlowe after three long series of questions. So it gave up.
Cheers, Terry

| Deleted User | Wow, came back twice in a row with Archie Bunker from 'All in the Family' after asking around fifteen questions. Sadly Edith seems a different story. I'll keep trying.

Just played again and it got Laura Petrie (Mary Tyler Moore's character on The Dick Van D-y-k-e Show) correct after about a dozen questions.
Interesting that I could see it aiming for Lucy after just five questions or so by asking if she had red hair.
Oddly, it took a lot longer for the program to guess Mary Tyler Moore (as Mary Richards).
During that long, two-part series of questions, I could see it trying to steer towards Rhoda then one of the two female leads in Three's Company before getting back on track.
Cheers, Terry
P.S. It also got Reverend Jim Ignatowski (Christopher Lloyd's hilarioius character in Taxi) correct in under a dozen questions - even though I started out thinking of Danny Devito as Louie De Palma on the same sitcom and then switched when asked if he was short.

Newgrass banjo player Bela Fleck took a little longer, about 25 questions, as did bluegrass legend Bill Monroe.

And Yngwie Malmsteen in 16. And Kirk Hammet and James Hetfield and Cliff Burton and Lars Ulrich in less then 16. (Lars only in 14!!!) And the absolute record is Dave Mustaine, I think, only 13 questions! And two Serbian rock singers, super fast.
