I was thinking 'dolphin' for some reason and it guessed 'porpoise' in 16 tries.

We used to write programs like that in basic a long, long time ago.
Is it bigger than a bread box?
Is it smaller than a house?
Is it animal, vegetable, or mineral?
Yada, yada, yada, etc,.........
It was fun to do. We tuned it pretty good to get most items in 20 questions. The rare one escaped us, of course, but the input and answers kept adding to the program and the next time something similar was input, it too was itemized down to 20 questions. Self-learning type program because it kept adding to itself.
I'm sure most of you have done something similar. Great fun.

I beat it with 'trailer-hitch'. I may have answered some Q's wrong but did the best I could. Nothing is infallible.
Also, trailer hitch is actually two words, so it may not have been fair.

I did "pi". There was a question: "Is it useful" and I put "Yes", although some would disagree. I won.

28 guesses for 'forum'. Actually it said "cyberspace" and I thought that close enough.
