  1. The computer was just faster at buzzing in. Still, its language processing ability was impressive. I wouldn’t say it “understood” several of the questions though, e.g. naming Toronto as a US vity, and a few other cases where its answer didn’t fit the pattern of the category.

Don't be shy, you can comment too!

 
Some things to keep in mind: You can style comments using Textile. In particular, *text* will get turned into text and _text_ will get turned into text. You can post a link using the command "linktext":link, so something like "google":http://www.google.com will get turned in to google. I may erase off-topic comments, or edit poorly formatted comments; I do this very rarely.
