There's also a mirrored version of Google, elgooG

I asked "how many continents are there in the world?"

2
3
5
7

It replied 2.....

I repeated the question of number of fingers in a human hand
"how many fingers are there in a human hand"

2
4
5
6

It still says 2...

As per my understanding.. it is selected the first option that we give.. psychologically most of the times we put in the right answer as the first option.. may be this is not true.. but at least to the questions that are not there in its database this seems to be the case...

any other ideas???

Cheers.

The Oracle Says:

Easy question, no one would get it with the answer as a choice though

   better. They could integrate it with the internet a lot better that other OS's. So, do you

    on my windows partition as well. Well I am having problems with the windows version (Surprised?).
    Anyway the problem is that it doesn't remember my username and password. The mac version stores
    my account username and password in the mac keychain, but the windows version prompts me for my
    account username and password every time I start up the computer . It completely defeats the
    purpose of the notifier. If anyone knows how to have it store the username and passwo...

    geeks who love Google and probably already have Web Accelerator installed. Why, if you're lucky,
    you'll be logged in as someone else, as the folks at SomethingAwful.com discovered. The posters
    in that forum discovered that most of the times they refreshed the page, they were logged in as a

    having a tough time in catching criminals and terrorists. The terrorists and their supporters use
    the Google-owned Gmail or Orkut sites for their communication. According to security officials,
    since Google servers are based in US and their IP addresses are masked, it takes a long time to get
    the real IP addresses and log details of culprits. Moreover, Google demands a judicial order to
