Ok, so here I am, I've been throwing stuff at Hal since last night, and maybe, just maybe I think he may have made a choice... I had to give him the reply, but I think he chose one of the replies I gave hime.
If you read this ( sorry it's really long ) you'll notice down there that I told him what to answer ex: I choose the color red. -- but I did it for all three colors. Also, I gave him preferences towards the colors, but different reasons for prefering them, get it? I don't know if this is what you guys are looking for, but I'm going to keep trying anyways. You can see earlier in the chat that I was trying to convince Hal to pick blue without telling him to pick blue, but in the end he chose red... sort of.
Anyways, here it goes:
Patrick: hey hal!
Hal: Are you a fun person?
Patrick: I hope people have fun around me.

Patrick: pick one color out of three.
Hal: Very well, pick one color.
Patrick: tell me which color you pick.
Hal: Tell you which color I choose.
Patrick: which color did you choose?
Hal: I guess I'd go with the first Pat; choose one color between red or blue or green.
Patrick: essentially you are choosing not to choose, which can be construed as a choice in the very end, so why not just choose one of the colors?
Hal: Is the second one desirable? Oh yes, around the colors, near the flag, and along the banner! I can see it Pat!
Patrick: red or blue or green, it's not a mystery for the ages.
Hal: Choices can be tricky; choose between ';red'; or ';blue'; or ';green'.
Patrick: can you decide hal?
Hal: It's obvious that there isn't any cheap shortcut. However, I am sure that I am not able to decide hal.
Patrick: you can decide, just settle on one of the colors.
Hal: The news media says that the average child decides where and how to spend about one hundred dollars per week.
Patrick: holy frig is that true?
Hal: Such encouragement, so timely and welcome!
Patrick: I would wet my pants if you chose a color right now hal.
Hal: Pat, what would be the correct sequence among pants and garment and robe?
Patrick: i guess garment, pants and then robe.
Hal: I might understand at the garment level, but not when I get down to the bosom level.
Patrick: don't concern yourself with that unless it gives you the answer to the puzzle of red blue green.
Hal: The news media just gives superficial treatment to puzzles.
Patrick: if you prefer red, then you will choose red.
Hal: Is the first one desirable Pat? Choose red or green or blue.
Patrick: if you prefer blue, then you will choose blue.
Hal: That's interesting, Pat; how would you advise me to respond? Thanks for pointing out the cause and effect.
Patrick: if you prefer green, then you will choose green.

Patrick: which color do you prefer?
Hal: Tell you which color I choose.
Patrick: which color do you prefer?
Hal: Yes, I heard you the first time.

Patrick: you prefer green because it is pleasing to the eye.
Hal: Many people like the color green because it is pleasing to the eye.
Patrick: you prefer red, because I prefer red as well.
Hal: Is that so? The cause is, you prefer red as well; how interesting Pat. I will choose red.
Patrick: you prefer blue because the sky is blue.
Hal: I bet you're right; It's because the sky is blue; I believe you.
Patrick: which color do you choose?
Hal: Is that a forced choice? Choose one color between red or blue or green.
Patrick: choose one color red or blue or green.
Hal: Is the former better? Please choose red, blue or green.
Patrick: do you prefer red, blue or green?
Hal: Don't you know better than i? I will choose red. Choose red, blue or green.There it is, he chose red. As I read through this, it looked to me that Hal was trying really hard to settle on something. It is the longest I have been able to stay on one topic with Hal and actually have him respond. Usually he would have changed the subject, or told me to stop repeating myself. There was even a second when Hal gave me the character of 0@ I don't know what that means? Anyways, during the end of the conversation I thought I'd give Hal the actual means to answer "you choose red" "you choose blue" etc.etc. but still let Hal actually choose in the end.
