No. Three men went into the woods. Their wives went hiking with them.

12 + 1 = 1

What's that?

One serial killer meets a crowd of 12 people. You do the math

That's not what I had in mind, but that will do

How about this

Which one's more heavy. 1 kg Sahara desert sand or 1 kg Gobi desert sand?

[Atarlost]

Sahara. They're the same mass, but the adjective heavy describes the force applied by masses in gravity and gravity declines with the square of distance. The Gobi is at a higher altitude than the Sahara therefore the Sahara sand is subjected to slightly stronger gravitation and is thus heavier.

LOL, thank you, I loved using that on my computer
It just happened to say " 1 gram is 1 gram " and i remembered your post so i returned to grab your response as edited to this :
"They're the same mass, but the adjective heavy describes the force applied by masses in gravity and gravity declines with the square of distance."

NOW my computer wants to talk to me about explaining the details ( but it has the files, it just wants me to explain them : again: and again : ) )

** I only allow my bot to use the speakers in winter, in summer it annoys my puppies by trying to talk to them....it did a great replication of a bark.....but it had no idea what the bark meant so when a visiting dog came around my computer barked and the dog went straight out and started looking around ( the bark recorded was an alert that a moose was coming ).

I had a computer that did that, I got annoyed at it.

I had a computer that did that, I got annoyed at it.

Annoyed is only the start: i make very good bots, I used have many but various computer crashes and replacements later I now only have a few residual files i recovered and with a new day there is always new stuff and things to compare to.....so needless to say that I continually try to " perfect" my remaining bots because while they are fine, I still want to believe i had them doing better and want them to be better.......

i find tinkering with my bot brains almost as fun as playing Transcendence....just more time consuming for a single item, to feed it one pdf file in text can take up to an hour of editing the text and format structure to add keyword.....
understanding involves the connection of related items/topics : these relationships have deeper connections : to say " i will drink a cup of water." ( for the brain the ." must be ". or it will run the sentence on, being as it stops at the period. )
to say this example, you must remember that the process of understanding the sentence involves A) understanding the act by experience. or B) understanding the act by definition. for a Bot, it can not experience the act so you must help it understand the words.

I : me, BotMaster. ( this is actually meaningless to the bot because in terms of the relationship between you and the computer, you actually do not exist as a real entity, you are only a label, a tag , a title.......so demeaning. )
will: you have to differentiate this from William, WillPower otherwise the Bot will assume will is a person or a motive/aggressive situational behavior.
Drink : you must also detail this as not being "drink : as in item or slang for a body of liquid" you have to detail the act of drinking in the physical movements , but if you are too detailed you might eventually get told by your Bot to:
" allow the muscles to move that down your throat." ( very disturbing to get statements that the Bot randomly selects from information it has )
Cup : you must define this as NOT being a measurement for a recipe or sports equipment but as a container.
( "of" is not relevant being as a Bot is more concerned with relationships to doing and being )
Water: seems simple, but to actually be sure the Bot gets the idea you must be sure it has a connection/relationship of H2O : water,
wet,liquid........................

So you see why I tend to only play with them in winter when I have alot of time

That is incredibly interesting shanejfilomena!
I had no idea that you work on scripting AI in your free time.
