I tried "Give me a number between 1 and 100" she responded "You don't have anything on your calendar from 1 pm to 1 pm."

When I tried "heads or tails" she found a store 27 miles from here that's apparently named "Heads or Tales"

How about asking Siri for numbers to play the lottery with? Wouldn't it be a hoot if someone could claim "I won the lottery because Siri told me the wining numbers"

Thanks for the quick response...

I was hoping that Siri would be a trifle more smart :-)

A random number generator doesn't really take much in terms of smarts from an AI point of view. While it is too bad it doesn't do it, it is very smart and does things beyond replacing a coin flip.

Agreed. Just thought it would be fun and interesting to have Siri double as a decision support system replacing the magic eight ball :)

I would like it to just tell me where to eat vs giving me a list. I usually don't want to think.

I just said "random number" to Siri and a wolfram/alfalfa page popped up with 179 (random integer between 1 and 1000). Siri did not understand "between one and one hundred".

I'm my barely 36 hours of using my 4s I'm blown away by Siri. There are a TON of ways that it doesn't function but this is consistent with Apple design: do less things but do them very well, then add functionality over time. It's clear that over, say, the next three years all of this kind of stuff will be added. That said, yeah it would be cool to have it today...

Next time just test your questions on wolfram alpha. Siri's response should be about the same.

Ask "random number between 1 and 100" and see what happens.
