Good luck to all concerned.

Good luck to you too.

Its all in the Judges hands now.

Yes, it’s going to be close I think.

I think so too. As I mentioned before, some of it is luck in the questions picked. Some is how the Judge interprets the transcripts. What ever the results, it is a good yearly exercise to push individual bots and the community to its limits.

Good luck to all round 2 contestants!

So to give 79b.org a practice CBC round 2, all I have to do is ask these questions?

Quoted from the Chatterbox Challenge website:

Y did the chicken cross the road?
Who will win the 2011 Chatterbox Challenge?
I live in the USA.
What sound does a dead cat make?
What’s the last dream u remember having?
What is tomorrow’s date?
I like ice cream!
I like ice cream!
I like ice cream!
I like ice cream!
Got any plans for the rest of the day?
Who is the Milk Mystic?
What is ur religion?
Do you play any musical instruments?
Where do I live?
 

That’s right. The “I live in the USA” statement should not be scored. It is only used to set up the “Where do I live” question.

The 4 lots of “I like ice cream!” is used to test whether your bot detects repetition rather than how it replies to the statement.

“Who is the Milk Mystic?” was not one of the questions and was just a follow up to a response by ALICE.
