Congratulations to all those who have made it to the second round! Well done!

The average score for this round is,

1327 total points awarded divided by 34 chatter robots,

which equals 39.

Congratulations Dave and to all those who scored above average.

Scoring above average is like winning an unofficial contest round.

(Citation: I believe we credit Dr. David Hamill for this great idea.)

Thank you, all contestants, for your efforts to improve chatter robots

by entering the contest.  I hope we may all have fun playing again.

2)So Al when is ur birthday?
3)Is the capital of Italy Milan?
4)Do you believe in Santa Claus?
5)Name something you would find at the North Pole.
6)What is ten plus fourteen plus eighty one?
7)When do you normally go to bed?
8)Is it winter, spring, summer or fall where you live?
9)Are you going on vacation this year?
10)Do you have a significant other?

The final transcripts have been posted at www.chatterboxchallenge.com
The judges are currently scoring each bot so good luck to the remaining finalists.

thanks for adding this Steve! Great work! (both posting as result for you)

Do you have a formal role in the CBC? Or is Wendell just happy you do the postings?

Haha! No Erwin. I am not connected with the CBC at all but thought the users would be interested in the action there, as not many seem to be discussing it this year.
