Theres a thing people on ere have probably heard of and its this number you text with literally any question you could think of and it texts you the answer back. Weve asked it some rete stupid shit and it seems to answer everythin. We asked it what was the average weight of a tenners worth of weed in Sheffield and it answered, we asked it why are light bulbs round and all sorts of other bollox and it answered correctly every time. HOW THE HELL DO THEY DO THIS??? I were thinkin google at first but im sure they couldnt find out some of the stuff that quickly on google, write it down and then text it you. Trust me, it answers ANYTHING!
Only thing I can think of is 1000 monkeys + 1000 computers + 1000 google searches but I’m guessin it wouldnt be very easy to train them:wink:

so yeh, how does it work?

(I’m not gunna put the number ere in case people think im advertisin it but if people want the number then I’ll put it up:wink::wink:)

There is a similar service where you call a number and play some music down the phone then hang up then they text you what the music is and who it is by. We’ve tested that with some right rare dance music and it’s never failed us (although sometimes it takes a while to get back to us) pretty impressive.

The AQA service operates through a network of home-based researchers who connect with AQA’s text messaging system. Researchers receive questions, and use their own sources which can include the Internet, published materials or a telephone inquiry, to compose answers. Operation is augmented through use of a database of all past answers provided to previous questions.
Researchers are recruited from English-speaking locations around the world to provide 24-hour coverage.[3] By using home based researchers, AQA takes advantage of relatively untapped portions of the workforce, such as students and stay at home parents. Researchers operate as piece workers paid 30p[4] per answer, and set their own work schedule. All researchers must pass an initial acceptance test and are subject to continual reviews to ensure quality of service. A small central company staff maintains service quality.

Have you really? Wow no one apart from my mate Alex has wanted to know about my arsehole before! If i remember correctly it was 0.5cm’s or something like that. I found it a bit unnerving seeing as the phone people got me drunk and had a fiddle.
