      Are there any patents filed related to the work done by the Hunch team?

      Yeah, filed a lot of patents, years ago and are still filing them. Won't sue anyone but need to have them for defense in case a patent troll comes after us.

      I stand in awe for the smartness of all the members of the Hunch team, but who is considered the smartest among them?

      Lots of very smart ones, but Matt Gattis is Good Will Hunting like.

      how did you teach yourselves the coding to create hunch?

      I didn't really code Hunch - my much smarter partners did. I did teach myself programming as a kid - doing mostly c/c++ and assembly to try to make games.

      Will Hunch ever be used to predict crimes against "good" taste à la Minority Report?

      I'm worried it could lead to a time travel paradox.

      Have you seen a noticeable decline in the quality of Google search results? Have you switched to another search engine because of it?

      seems like a slight decline but still a loyal google user.

      It seems to me Hunch is a solution in search of a problem. It's like ThePoint.com to Groupon.com. Why don't you guys go after a single problem and solve it instead of trying to be a generalized product? It seems like you're making such an obvious mistake.

      Great question. Answered it in depth here: http://cdixon.posterous.com/why-dont-you-guys-hunch-go-after-a-single-pro

      When will we see new features on the site?

      Very soon! Working especially on ways to make the recommendations "fresher" so there is a reason to come back more often.

      What companies have tried to acquire Hunch? Or is it not for sale?

      Hunch is not for sale. The founders have already sold companies before and have no desire to sell Hunch. We want to build it into a large company.

      Is the Hunch taste data made available to the scientific community?

      The API is available to anyone. We've thought about ways to give the scientific community additional anonymized data dumps but haven't (yet) because it seems like every data set that has been anonymized has also been de-anonymized.

      What's the question with the most answers on hunch??????

      That would be this question http://hunch.com/default/about/view-question/966/ about whether someone lives in the city, suburbs, or a rural area. It has been asked as the first Teach Hunch About You question for longer than any other question on Hunch (although it wasn't always in the #1 spot).
      About 350,000 Hunch users have answered that question, with the breakdown as follows:
      City: 40%
      Suburbs: 44%
      Rural: 16%

      What was Hunch's first prediction?

      Ha, good question! Probably something wildly wrong because the system started off dumb and got smarter over time.
