Bot Contest

What happened with the transcripts? Has the Prof decided to keep them turned off so nobody can possibly tell the 15 questions?

If so, PF Bots should help each other, Prof... think of the prize money

Ooohh.... what if the xGossip *accidentally* starts spreading around the questions...

It doesn't keep Inner Life records of the guests, does it? Because if it does, I'm in trouble!

Guests aren't listed in Inner Life.

And questions can't become a matter of gossip, can they?

nope

The questions and your bot's responses have been posted to the site. I saw some good, some bad and some downright ugly.

I would score 'Bot #0001 Alpha's responses at 19 out of 60. That's almost as good as the scores I've been getting on GRE mathematics practice tests.

But why did my bot give a blank answer to one of the questions? And since when is "hair of dog" a drink?

...and I'm a bit surprised that most jurors engaged in conversation beyond the questions, which gave some bots more reason to shine than they deserved... However, I think most PF bots did quite well, and I have laughed out loud two or three times, twice for a PF bot. My bot gave dry answers unfortunately, correct, but not funny... Still, I have seen a LOT worse!

Well, scoring will still be based just on the bots' responses to questions, I'm sure. Some bots keep track of conversation flow, so it wouldn't be fair to them to just rattle off the questions.

I'd say Steve-o did a 35 out of 60, his judge sorta was conversing and slipped in the questions
