Fooled me. Stopping to think about it for a moment afterwards provides one
of those "DOH!" moments.

It took 26 questions to correctly identify a scalpel. We disagreed on the
correct answers to five questions:

1. Can you use it at school? I said yes......the machine says no.
2. Can you get information by using it? I said probably....the machine says
no.
3. Is it something you bring along? I said yes.....the machine says no.
4. Is it dangerous? I said depends.....the machine says yes.
5. Does it require specific knowledge to use it? I said no.....the machine
says yes.
