This operates off of a huge database with a superb search program that operates in reverse. By our questions it reduces the number of possible choices until it comes down to a few, then it asks a key question that points to one of the remainder. I was a database programer in a previous life. (25 years ago). Knowing that, I have stumped it a few times. Notice, if you go to the end, it asks you to put in the characters name, thus building on itself for the next one. Got Rhett Butler but not "Fritz the Cat" or Darth Vader.
