Always Be Closing: The ABC's of reading minds by Q
July
8, 2010 
I know what you’re thinking. It’s been a long time since we talked. Let me tell you why. A few months ago, I began work on a very confidential project.
It was an assignment that required a combination of silky-smooth artificial intelligence, someone with a thorough understanding of the criminal mind, and you, a player with a competitive spirit.
Today, I’m happy to officially announce my partnership with the LAPD’s Deputy Chief, Brenda Leigh Johnson. Some of you might know her from TNT’s tense crime drama,
The Closer. I highly recommend you tune in for the season premiere on July 12th.
Chief Johnson and I have come together to bring you Busted By Brenda, the latest 20Q-powered online challenge.
Are you clever enough to take us both on in a game of twenty questions? At this point, you might be wondering what strange twist of fate could possibly unite an A.I.
and a trained police interrogator like Brenda. While she may be a mere flesh and blood human, we do have the following in common: Brenda has a quick brain; I have a lightning-fast neural-net processor.
Brenda owns a cat; my inventor, He-Who-Takes-All-the-Credit, lets his cat sit on me.
Brenda speaks multiple languages; I speak more than twenty languages.
Brenda traps criminals by sussing out their lies; I laugh at your fuzzy logic.
Brenda is a workaholic; I, literally, can’t take a break.
Brenda is a closer; I can read your mind!
If you’re curious what happens when you combine the impressive interrogative work of a seasoned LAPD chief and a slick as a whistle A.I., try Busted By Brenda, and see if you can outwit The Closers. |
