At least you got someone to talk to. I got "no other humans online" and told to come back in 59 minutes and 39 seconds...

Anyone know the significance of the time? Or is it just trying to be more effective than saying an hour? (In the same vein as parking lots that have speed limits of 4 mph rather than 5 mph so that motorists are more likely to actually watch their speed because it's different)

I met a human. I wrote "Who am I" and then "Who are you" and then s/he said "What is life" and I said "Cats". This made him/her think I was a robot :- ) +2 to me

It would be fun to see a pic of the other person, and to chat for 90 seconds instead of just 30. And maybe continue chatting for 90 seconds afterwards.

it asks everyone to come back at the start of the next hour, eg if it's 13:45 it'll ask you to come back in 15 minutes
