Radica Games Sports 20Q User manual

I KNOW WHAT YOU’RE THINKING!
I’ve focused my artificial intelligence on Sports,
and now I know everything about sports heroes,
teams, events, and much more. Think of any
sports topic and answer my questions. Answer
the questions honestly, and I will tell you what
you’re thinking!

Eor return to a previous section. Also, press the
LEFT SCROLL button to increase the speed of
the scrolling text, and press the RIGHT SCROLL
button to slow it down.
RESET – If the game begins to malfunction,
insert a blunt point and press the RESET button.
This action will RESET the game to its original
settings.
SLEEP MODE – After 60 seconds of inactivity,
the game will automatically shut down, going
into SLEEP MODE. To turn it on again, simply
press the ON button, and the game will start
where you ended play.
LET’S BEGIN
Although you won’t win, I’ll tell you how to play
anyway!
Press the ON button to turn the unit on or to
wake the unit from SLEEP MODE. To start a
new game, press and hold the NEW GAME but-
ton until the current game clears, and then I will
ask if you are READY to play. If you’re ready,
press the YES button and think of anything
related to sports.
I will ask you a series of questions before I guess
what you’re thinking. However, I will always
begin with the same set of questions: Are you
a Person, Place, Thing, or Unknown? There
are two ways to answer the first four questions.
First, you can answer each question with YES
or NO as I advance to the next question. Or,
you can toggle between these four questions by
pressing the LEFT SCROLL or RIGHT SCROLL
buttons to identify the question that is correct
and answer YES.
When I ask the remaining questions, answer
honestly by pressing one of the answer buttons
(YES, NO, SOMETIMES, RARELY, UNKNOWN).
If you answered a question incorrectly, press the
UNDO button to return to the prior question. I
will try to guess what you are thinking before I
have asked 20 questions. However, I may ask
you a total of 20 questions. At this point, I will
try to guess what you’re thinking. If I guess cor-
rectly, press the YES button. If for some strange
reason I guess incorrectly, I will ask you five
more questions then guess again.
When I guess what you are thinking, I win! If
all my guesses are wrong, you win. But don’t
worry, that will never happen.
Good luck! You’re going to need it!
