The Oracle of Bacon: Thirty Years Later

Such a fun site back in the day, and novel. There's the Erdos number version for academia.

There was that other site that tried to guess what you were thinking. It'd ask you a series of questions to try and guess --- that one was eerily good at it, too. Feels like a similar sort of thing: how quickly you can converge on a solution.

Having said that, that article seems more interested in talking about things adjacent to the Oracle of Bacon and what its author finds interesting rather than the site itself. Not sure why?
