It's good, but not right.
It did involve interaction between a human and computer, though.

Can only think that I read about that recently.
What is the alcohol by volume ABV of something that is classed as 100 proof (in the Uk)?

Used to be 50, now its 57.14 IIRC.

I think it's actually 57.07. 50% is the US version. Woods 100 rum which takes it's name from it's proof is 57 % ABV.
Anyway close enough back to Harry.
