There is knowledge and then there is Knowledge. What I mean is that some pieces of information are a lot more useful than others. The list below represents what True Knowledge users are actually asking about and not finding the answers to.
We would really appreciate some help with filling the holes in our knowledge base required to answer these questions.
- How many legs does a centipede have?
- What is the value of pi?
- When was the internet invented?
- Where does Steve Jobs live?
- Where does Michael Jackson live?
- What is the population of Alaska?
- How tall is the CN Tower?
- Who discovered penicillin?
- What is the capital of Quebec?
- How many eyes does a spider have?
- (to protect privacy we only reveal questions that have been asked by many different users)
If you know any of the answers and want to help out then the easiest way to contribute is to click one of the question links above (you must be logged in first). You will be presented with the words "I don't know" and underneath this there is a link that lets you add the necessary knowledge. You will also get the chance to try out our new ajaxy add knowledge interface which we would really appreciate some feedback on.
If you click on one of the question links above and you get an answer this means that someone else has beaten you to it and already added the necessary knowledge for that question.
A big thank you for all the help teaching True Knowledge more knowledge

Pi has no real number value, however because [is a value of] expects a real number we are unable to enter something like "an irrational and transcendental number with a value often approximated with 3.14159"

It seems that most of the missing knowledge have been added.
It would be nice if you could generate a dynamical updated list of most wanted knowledge.
Then I think missing knowledge
will be spotted and added much faster.
I have already suggested how to do it here.

Maybe TK should know that if
a number is irrational then [is a value of] don't make sense.
and [is an approximated value of] should be used.

Just to point out that the URS (unique recognition string) of [is a value of] is "is a real number approximately equal to".
We consider these text URS strings to be the definition of the object. I'll change the wording of the ID for you, but it's the URS which shows that this is the correct relation to use here.
Tyler: The descriptive phrase you suggest should probably be the URS of pi. You can change that yourself from the "pi" profile. Then it will be the answer given every time someone asks "What is pi?"
