"Hazoses" Trivia Bot#

When I participated in EESTEC (10th edition), our team, Hazoses, qualified for both the main event and the second event. We won second place in the latter, but this project is all about the first one.

Just me, concentrating

The task#

We were tasked to design an AI in 24 hours that could answer basic trivia questions, such as 'Who is the first person to walk on the moon?' or 'When was Albert Einstein born?'. These queries were recieved by a local server that would process them and return an answer.

Together with Vlad Negoiță, our team designed a Python script capable of answering some of these questions, but the project was far from perfect. However, the code found here is open‑source and, most importantly, written in only 12 hours (there were some communication problems on our side, so we had to develop our bot in half the normal time).

Obvious issues#

There are many issues with this code, but I will not solve any of them; the code ran its course, since it was meant to be used in the competition and nowhere else. In the future, I might recreate this AI alone.

Source code#

For more info, please check out the open source code repository on GitHub. The code is made available under the MIT license.

I value keeping my code open‑source. However, it's disheartening whenever I find that someone has copied my work without giving me proper credit. All I ask of you is to not claim my effort as your own.
