Does this Oracle really work?

Answer:

Can't contact servlet runner at 127.0.0.1:6901 :)

[Harley_m]

fun little site...but not all that clever at all...All he has done is get it to search google for the question and all four answers, the one with the highest 'matches' it chooses. Which would explain its accuracy when asked things like capitals, and not whan asked things like how many chicks will i score with this year...

[AkanDian rain]

"how many chicks will I score with this year?"
1
10
100
1000

Answer:: 1000

I don't know, it seems pretty accurate to me. :)

[Morat]

Hi guys, came across your thread when a colleague mentioned that The Oracle was now listed on Google (you beat me to first place too :D).

To answer Harley_M, heck yes it's simple. Just a bit of fun really but 5,500 questions answered in 2 days isn't bad ;)

Glad you enjoyed it.
Jonathan.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld [webmasterworld.com], Jonathan.

Although just a bit of fun, The Oracle clearly shows the advantage of using a 2.5 billion page index for 'brute force' analyses. I'm glad you put it up for us all to play with. Thanks.
