It took 30+ tries and 2 wrong guesses but it finally got The Fonz. Amazing....how many people already tried him!


Also, I had to teach him Ham Eun-jung from T-ara, although ironically he named all the other T-ara girls.

Clearly this thing is meant for people ages 13-30 whose 'characters' are drawn from pop culture and the 20th and 21st centuries.

It just failed on Puck (Who wasn't even in the database!), it took 30 guesses to get Henry V. I wish they'd make one of these that isn't meant for people choosing their favorite 'One Tree Hill' character.

I can't believe it.

I first did Maximillian Sterling from robotech. It got it.

Then I did Reira from Nana.. It got it.

I then did Hikaru from Kimagure Orange Road and it didn't get it.

It did not get Stuart Scott the ESPN anchor, and it didn't get Rick Laird the bass player from Mahavishnu Orchestra.

I'll try it out in class though.
