A guessing game with a difference, where the player knows all the answers and teaches the computer how to guess them.

You think of an animal, and the program tries to guess what it is. When the computer gets it wrong, you teach it how to do better next time.

Although it seems simple, this program can create a large and sophisticated decision tree covering hundreds of different creatures. Playing the game promotes clear thinking, forward planning, and the ability to compose relevant questions. It also encourages players to learn more about the weird and wonderful world of animals.
