theparadox, do games w Quizzle – Can you guess the word in fewer than twenty questions?

Is it an oven? 👍 Is it a microwave oven? 👍 Is it a countertop microwave oven? 👍 Can it grill food? 👍 Is it a grill microwave oven? - exceeded the question limit, big reveal, answer was “microwave”. Interesting but I wasted a lot of questions trying to determine what kind of microwave it was because “microwave oven” was not accepted.

dom,

Even saying “oven” as correct threw me off. Ive never called a microwave an oven or a microwave oven. I was like starting to think maybe it wanted a specific brand of oven, or a synonym like stove

Skwerls,

Well actually…

An oven is something you put food in to cook by heating the air inside of it.

A range is the burner portion.

A stove is a combination of the two.

Yes this is pedantic and I agree that they’re often used interchangeably

theparadox,

I had already narrowed the size down to a smallish (I forgot what I used for comparison) electronic cooking appliance so a full oven was already out. “Toaster oven” was negative, so I tried microwave oven route instead.

Carlo,

That’s weird, it accepted “microwave oven” from me just now. My last two questions were:

Is it some kind of oven? 👍

Is it a microwave oven? Yep you got it!

Edit: looks like they implemented a fix for this https://lemmy.world/comment/5372745

Joelk111,

I asked if it was larger than a microwave on my second question and it gave it to me…

Edit: There was an update to make it more lenient. Too lenient imo.

I thought I was done when I guessed oven, but there was no clear feedback saying I won. Went to the comments for the actual answer.

So my feedback: fun game! If possible, perhaps add something like “very close” if you guess something that’s almost the answer but not quite. Or oven could have just been wrong, since that wasn’t the actual answer.

It said that it wasn't bigger than a housecat. That threw me off.

Lol I asked the same question

nxdefiant,

Mine said it was bigger than a cat

MeaanBeaan,

Clearly you meant a cat as big as a house.

salvaria,

You know, I had the same thought of asking if it was bigger than something, and this happened:

I was actually a little disappointed I didn’t get to play more!

Y’all gotta put spoiler tags on your shit

hasnt_seen_goonies, do games w Quizzle – Can you guess the word in fewer than twenty questions?

I thought it was broken, because I asked if it was an oven, and it said yes… And then nothing. Just a bit confusing to people who don’t understand AI and fuzzy answers.

Basil,

Wdym? You’re asking Yes or No questions, the word wasn’t oven, but the word WAS an oven, it was microwave. I think there was just a misunderstanding

hasnt_seen_goonies,

I asked if it was an oven, and it said yes,

I’m hesitant to say that the current word is a bad choice, but it feels far too specific to me. I’m curious what questions one could ask after finding out that it’s a type of f___ that would lead to the exact type of f___ that it is.

Again, I’m hesitant to criticize the decision, because it’s entirely possible that I’m just dumb and gave up too soon

ConsumptionOne,

Agreed. I narrowed it down to a small species of ocean fish that was featured in Finding Nemo, but couldn’t figure out how to pin down a specific species.

eriner,

I’d rate this one “black diamond” level for sure.

My Questionsis it alive? 👍 is it an animal? 👍 is it a land animal? 👎 is it a salt water fish? 👍 is it a tropical fish? 👍 is it commonly consumed in America? 👎 is it a common fish in home aquariums? 👎 is it a common fish in public aquariums? 👍 does it have a distinct color? 🤷‍♂️ is it larger than a bread box? 👎 is it a keystone species? 🤷‍♂️ is it a character in the movie Finding Nemo? 👍 Is it larger than one foot in length? 👎 does it have unique characteristics that differentiate it from other fish? 👍 is it a clown fish? 👎 is it an angler fish? 👎 is it a deep sea fish? 👎 is it a seahorse? ⭐

Pika,
@Pika@sh.itjust.works avatar

I feel the same way to be honest, with the current question I did it all the way through and I was at odds end of what I could ask it aside from just straight out asking if it’s a specific type, third question in was the exact one that you spoilered out and yet I wasn’t even able to get a general ballpark of what it was in the next 17 questions.

starman2112, do games w Quizzle – Can you guess the word in fewer than twenty questions?
@starman2112@sh.itjust.works avatar

Lmao I got the answer 11 questions in, but because I called it a “microwave oven” instead of just a microwave, it didn’t count as correct until I asked “is it a microwave?” for my last question

eriner,

We’ve implemented a fix to make it more lenient. Sometimes the synonyms and spellings catch us off guard (“raccoon” vs “racoon”), but we should have known about this one! Sorry about that.

I had fun anyway, and ain’t playing competitively. Long as I know I got it right, I’m happy!

I like the concept but some of the answers can be really misleading.

Can be carried, is found in classrooms, not made of plastic, and inexpensive. None of that points towards a microwave for me. Microwaves CAN be carried I guess, but who has microwaves in classrooms? My microwave has plastic cowling on the front, and microwaves are like 70-100 bucks the last time I checked. Some of that is on me for the phrasing (does it contain plastic I guess should have been used, as an example) but it’s a bit odd.

hasnt_seen_goonies,

I agree, but I definitely had microwaves in my classrooms (small school, we would eat in classrooms).

20 hours until I can play again?! C’mon…

StThicket, do games w Quizzle – Can you guess the word in fewer than twenty questions?

I came as far as asking: is it an oven 👍 Then: is it a stove 👎 Then wtf is it???

I never in my life have considered a microwave to be an oven, but obviously it is. I’ve never had one, so I have limited experience with it.

Anti_Iridium,

You do know microwave is short for [en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microwave_oven](Microwave Oven?)

StThicket,

Yeah, but it can also be a type of radio wave

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microwave

Fisherswamp, do games w Quizzle – Can you guess the word in fewer than twenty questions?

Apparently microwaves aren’t made of metal >:(

alxjsn,

By any chance did you ask “is it a metal?” Microwaves contain/are made of metal but aren’t a metal.

Fisherswamp,

I asked if it contained at least 30% metal

eriner,

Thanks for your feedback! We’ve implemented a change to improve the outcome of this kind of question in the future.

Anti_Iridium,

I asked that as well

d00ery,

Microwaves also don’t contain motors 😂

secondaccountlemmy, do games w Quizzle – Can you guess the word in fewer than twenty questions?

i made the mistake of checking the comments before playing so…

drislands,

Yeah I don’t think anyone realized that everyone got the same word. Can’t blame em for babbling about it, but it’s a major bummer because now I’m obviously not going to play.

secondaccountlemmy,

try it today! quite fun.

Wilzax, do games w Quizzle – Can you guess the word in fewer than twenty questions?

Does its prevalence cause existential dread due to consumerism in the western hemisphere? 👎 Does it make chicken rubbery? 👍

SnowmenMelt, do games w Quizzle – Can you guess the word in fewer than twenty questions?

I got a no for can you hold it so I was sure it was a normal oven. You can definitely hold a microwave they’re not that big 🤣

KapiteinPoffertje,

I got a yes for can you carry it…

BudgieMania, do games w Quizzle – Can you guess the word in fewer than twenty questions?

Oooh this is a cool concept, thanks for sharing! I'll add it to my rotation of stuff to play on my conmute.

I threw some weird questions here and there to see if it had issues, it didn't know how to answer either of these:

-Does its name start with a vowel?
-Does its name have less than ten letters?

Although that might have been due to my clumsy wording.

eriner,

LLMs tend to perform poorly with questions about linguistic characteristics of words. We have tuned responses to gently discourage questions like that. We also feel that they’re kind of “cheating” at this sort of game. :)

Glad you enjoy it!

BudgieMania,

We also feel that they’re kind of “cheating” at this sort of game.

Hehehehehehe that is true, I'll play fair instead of trying to see what it lets me get away with. Well, most days at least.

Haven't tried using llm for this kind of stuff so it's very interesting to see where its limits lie

glimse,

I asked the same question (does it start with a vowel) and agree that it shouldn’t answer even if it could but I have a suggestion: use a different emoji than the “I don’t know” one to mean “that’s kinda cheating”

Buffaloaf,

There’s a cool one called chronogram that has an AI pretending to be an historical figure. You basically have a conversation to figure out who they are. It’s pretty cool, but now it requires you to sign up or use a Google account, which is a bummer

BudgieMania,

but now it requires you to sign up or use a Google account, which is a bummer

Aaagh I saw, what a shame. Sounds like a cool concept, but I can't be arsed to sign up with my Google or Discord accounts for a daily thing even if it gave a free budgie
