20q.net is an online game of 20 questions that apparently starts off with no knowledge base. It learns from the interactions of the players. And it is pretty damn impressive.

I’d like to know more about how it works, but I’m having trouble finding any explanations, and mail to the address given on the site is going unanswered. Anyone know of a place that discusses how it works? In particular, how does it come up with the questions? E.g., where does “Does it come in packs?” come from?

TIA (no, not Total Information Awareness.)
