Anyone had a play around with this?

It's really interesting to use.

Type anything into it and it creates answers based on mathematical equations.

Start by just typing your name in. Then have a play around with, throw in some equations, or the city you live in. The world is your oyster.

Have a red of it here to understand it better.

I was having fun with names. I was expecting some to be more common and some to be less common.

I thought my name was more common, I guess not... :(

Quite amazing what it spits out.

People need to remember though that it isn't a search engine.
