The Runaway Sheep

yigit turhan Can I read your mind?

I, personally, cannot however thank to the little gizmo that is selling like crazy in UK & USA something obviously can!
Wikipedia states:
"The game 20Q is either a website or a handheld device based on the spoken parlor game known as twenty questions. 20Q will ask you to think of anything you like and will then try to guess what you're thinking with twenty yes or no questions. If it fails to guess in 20 questions, it will ask an additional 5 questions. If it fails to guess even with 25 questions, the player is declared the winner."

Log on to the website: http://www.20Q.net to see that it truly does read your mind. Let's try:
(Ok, the word I have in mind is: fish)
