    Question about something

    Report bad ads?

    There is this website that my brother got from his friend. On the website you ask a question, like what is my name? And they give you accurate answers. The thing is, one of my brothers tried it and he typed 'what is my name?' and he got the right answer. But there is something weird. You see my brothers have different English teachers. The one who asked what is my name got his answer, and right after that, my other brother asked 'what is my English teacher's name?' and he got the correct answer of his English teacher's name. The thing im wondering about is how did this website know that my other brother was asking the question? I mean they could have made a mistake and gave the name of my other brother's English teacher, because he was the one who asked the first question. This might sound confusing but hope you get it.

    Re: Question about something

    My brothers who went to this website are younger than me and i did not like them to use that kind of website. I dont think i should mention the website, but i can describe it. First there is a petition that you have to answer, then the question box will open and you ask a question. After a few seconds it answers. But it was strange how they knew which brother asked the question, and therefore gave him the right answer.

    Re: Question about something

    If you mean that your brothers would type in the question, then they were using a website purposely made to puzzle people. I remember a coworker fooled us with such a website 2 years back, I just don't recall how it worked exactly...

    Ya they would type in the question, but there was no way they wrote the answers themselves. I saw it as well.

    Re: Question about something

    If you're talking about the "Peter" website, then in reality, they're writing the answer to the question in the petition box instead of "Peter please answer" or whatever else was written except that it appears to you that they're typing in the petition. Hope that makes sense

    The fact that your 2nd brother got the right question to his answer? The computer doesn't know the answer sis, you were just being fooled. Your brother wrote the answer to the question, which is why it appeared as the correct answer

    Re: Question about something

    Wa Iyaki sis. I had to try it out myself before understanding it

    and take a look at this- it explains it better than I ever could...

    "5. Type a period "." in the "Insert Petition" box. You'll notice that the letter "P" will appear instead of a period.
    6. Type in the answer to the question. As you type each letter or number of the answer, the screen will display one more letter of the phrase, "Peter, please answer the following question:" This means no one will know that you're typing the answer to the question, because it looks like you're typing, "Peter, please answer the following question:".
    7. Type another period "." when you're done entering the answer. When you type another period, the next letter of the petition phrase ("Peter, please answer the following question:") will appear.
    8. Complete the petition phrase. Once you've typed the second period, the actual letters you type will show up on the screen. Now, just finish the phrase, being sure to end it with the colon.
    9. Type in the question. Just as above, the cursor will jump to the question box as soon as you enter the colon. Type the question that was asked, and end it with a question mark. Peter will think for a second and then display the answer that you typed."
