I think this has a bug in it, unless I'm misunderstanding something. I asked it if the movie was made in 1995 and I got the following:

> Congratulations you guessed the movie!

> Your score was 775

> Congratulations! It was made in 1995. Well done!

yeah, same. I think it happens after a certain number of year guesses?

"Congratulations you guessed the movie!

Your score was 825

Congratulations! The movie I was thinking of is made in 2018. Well done!"

Got it, will fix that, thanks for the reply
Should be fixed now, thanks
I had a similar issue. I was guessing "is it after <year>", "is it rated <r/pg-13/PG/g>", "is it a comedy", "does it have romance", then tried binary searching for the first letter. I asked if it started with the letter A, and got this:

Congratulations you guessed the movie!

Your score was 500

Congratulations! The movie starts with the letter "A". Keep guessing!

Should be fixed, added a rule to only answer yes or no when it’s not the name of the movie yet
Got it, will fix that, thanks for the reply
