So I was wrong. I'm glad because some people say that I can give 20
stones to Handtalk only because I've learned too much how Handtalk
plays. (I'm 4k.) My mistake shows that this is not the case.

The test was fun but I agree with David Mechner: "the Turing Test
isn't to write a program that convinces someone that there's a baby at
the other end of a teletype". This Japanese girl isn't a baby and plays
quite well for an 8 year old, but she is nowhere near 2k.
