Here are the questions asked in the 2002 Challenge, they change every year:
1) WHERE ARE YOU
2) ARE YOU NERVOUS
3) DO YOU LIKE TALKING TO PEOPLE
4) WHAT IS THE CAPITAL OF FRANCE
5) WHEN DID THE FIRST MAN WALK ON THE MOON
6) WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT GEORGE BUSH
7) CAN YOU TELL JOKES
8) WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE STAR WARS CHARACTER
9) HOW CAN I MAKE A CHATTERBOT
10) CAN I HAVE A PICTURE OF YOU
Those are straight off the results page of when they quizzed Desti. All caps and no punctuation. The 2003 questions are available on the Chatterbox Challenge site.

The Chatterbox challenge is supposed to consist of 2 parts: 10 questions and Chat.
Each is marked separately, the first by the judges, and the second by the public.

I keep thinking about entering my new bots in a contest, but none of the new ones even pretend to be human... As some have noticed in these forums, that can be a drawback. Are there any contests that aren't either intelligence tests or "pretend to be a human" tests? I think some people were trying to start a contest where other factors would be considered. Wish now I supported that more... I didn't know this at first, but botmaking is about art. You can makes "points" with bots, like you can with paintings or songs.
Is Chatterbox Challenge always a trivia contest, or does it change every year?
The CBC has never been a trivia contest. Last year we offered medals in many different categories: Most Knowledgeable, Most Popular, Most Capable, Funnniest, Best Learning Bot, Best Interface, Best Character/ Personality. In addition the main purpose of any chatterbot is in his ability to simply chat. That part counted 60% of the overall score in determining the winners. The 15 questions is simply one of many categories and nothing more. For example Elbot placed 11th in that category yet won the contest.
