So a brand new answer engine launched called Hunch. What is an answer engine?

Instead of ranking links based on how many people link to you the answers you get are based on the community. When you first get to the site you are going to be asked a bunch of questions. Apparently the engine takes all of you answers in account.

I am not sure how these starting questions effect your results, but once you answer 20 questions you an save your profile.  At this point you can tell by the answers that the only people really using this are techy dudes.

Here are some of the results I got that solidify that fact.

• 46% of people have a blog that they update reguraly.
• 49% live in a major city
• 72% Male
• 68% are more likely to spoon than to be spooned. (Yeah that means that 4% of men who use Hunch prefer to be spooned.)
• 64% are 18-35
• 70% claim that when they buy a home theater system they will put it together without the manual.  (I say claim, because I just bought a home theater system and used the manual to put it together, but I clicked that I wouldn’t.)

After you go through all those questions, you ask your own question. As of right now there is only a small amount of questions that can be answered, but I am sure in the next few days that will grow a lot.  Then after that you have to answer even more questions.

Overall, it is a lot of work to get a question answered, but it is a pretty cool idea. Also as a side note, you can not answer questions after you ask your question by clicking “Give me the Hunch” although I think this begins to defeat the purpose. It is kind of like “I’m feeling lucky” on Google.

Has anyone else used Hunch yet? Let me know what you think.
