Title: why does hal give this response ?
Post by: lightspeed on May 10, 2008, 06:19:25 pm: i was writing to hal and hal answered with this strange answer that had nothing to do with what i wrote :

Math is easy for me. The answer is (=). Probably '; they do seem to know a lot of things! '.

This sometimes happens when an incomplete sentence is sent to Hal. A carriage return might have accidentally been sent and since Hal does not understand at all he/she comes up with some random sayings.

actually HAL interpreted a sentence as being a math question and tried to equate it but there was no math to calculate and gave you an empty math statement of (=) like as in (1+1=2), HAL also uses worded numbers like (one+one=?).
