Bot Contest

Do you have have a botmaster gathering, I mean once a year somewhere?

Not that I've ever heard, but that's actually a pretty cool idea. Any thoughts?

49th pace.... ahh i cant complain i suppose. At least its a good learning experience

and like Psimagus said... 47 populairty votes... people love him! they realy realy love him!

I noticed something about the scoring rules. They seem to be designed for factual questions with specific right answers, whereas all the questions this year except maybe the first one are more open-ended.

Congratulations, but I must admit to jealousy. At least you guys' bots had a chance.

lol, i feel a little bit jealous but i am pleased for them lol

hah - my bot ALLY got the closest there to a "norway", with 2 rankings of 1 and one of 0. oh well, theres always next year, and i'm working on a whole new approach to AI now, less statistical, and more neural network based.

anywho, congrats to all who did well, and all who didn't do well but tried (its the effort that counts)
