Hacks to get past you guys!

So listen.. There’s a little confession we need to make.

Our algorithm for selecting animals based on your image when entering the mirror in fact isn’t as sophisticated as we have let you believe. It is still a good algorithm though! It did the job, right? It gave the same animal to one of you judges two times in a row, while mostly giving different animals to different judges. It did the work! I guess the customer doesn’t really care how it works as long as it does indeed work. If the outcome is good it doesn’t really matter if its a hacky solution or great code.

While our app lets you believe that it draws on characteristics of you to find a animal.. It is actually a RNG. A good RNG, the type of RNG that did what it was supposed to.

Sorry!
