I tried to make it guess Philly Boy Roy, but it guessed Judge Smails instead.

It guessed Walter Sobchak for me, but it's getting closer to figuring out Philly Boy Roy.

Hundreds of people have played "Humbert Humbert" before me.

For the appearance questions I am not sure I should think to Wurster incognito or just that picture from the website?

Also, it didn't get Tetro for me. But it did guess one of the Mr Men.

That actually made me ashamed.

Which is odd, since I answered "No" to Does your character "spook" people? early on.

That made me try Spagett, which it did eventually get after first guessing Mr. Roper and then Potsie. It didn't ask me if my character spooked people though :(

I've been training it with spike for a few days now. It gets it right about a third of the time.
