The first time it took it about 28 questions to figure out what I was thinking. (I was thinking of a mouse pad).

The second time, it couldn't even figure out what I was thinking. And at the end where it says you've won, the object I was thinking of wasn't on the list, nor did it understand it once I'd typed it in. (I'm not going to say what object it was, as I'm not sure how appropriate it would be to post it here. If you're curious, PM me.)
