We hired some people from mechanical turk to play as well. The game code lets us verify they played the game.

Knowledge is our reward!

... but seriously, how do you think we could make money off of it? :)

Just FYI, you can put in a fake email on signup. We don't use your email for anything, it's just a required field in the library we used to build the site. :)

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the game! :)

We'll post a follow-up with some analysis and some of the more interesting and hilarious games.

We need accurate data gathering. We want to be reasonably sure that no two people are accidentally using the same name.

That's just leftover from the default auth package we used-- sorry! You can input a fake email.

Even more specifically, their chairman in the 50s and 60s was a Nazi war criminal.

Also, TIL that Nazi war criminals tried and convicted at the Nuremberg trials were not all hung. Some, like Fritz ter Meer, served only 5 years even though he was in charge of an Auschwitz medical experimentation program that resulted in over 25,000 horrific deaths.

We actually do have plans to look into Mad Men. Even if exact items are not available, we think similar items may be very worthwhile and useful.

Right! Rather than focusing on just celebrity fashion, we want to better connect people to the show itself.

Thanks! The name just sounded pretty good to us: it's short, easy to remember, rolls off the tongue, and not very similar to anything else.

This made my day. Thank you!

Thank you! We're in Austin but we have a couple people in Pittsburgh.

Thanks! The algorithm is a work in progress. I'm actually a machine learning PhD student at UT Austin, so automation is certainly an important future direction to me. So you can think of this as sort of building a dataset manually. :)

Sorry! Looks like it's sold out just about everywhere online. I would try giving this independent eBay seller an email: dogwoodvalley@yahoo.com
