    The machine was so good that he couldn't avoid answering his wife's question easily.  His wife asked him. "Do you have a girlfriend?"  He, the husband, immediately answered, "Of course not, of course not." The machine said in an artificial male voice, "There is a 60% possibility that your husband doesn't have a girlfriend."
    He was very relieved.    She said in a cynical voice, "Your points are getting lower and lower. It's only a matter of time
until your score is under 50%."    He was very upset.    Actually sometimes he secretly went to a girl's house.    But he was trained to control his mind during his  time in the army so he was able to deceive the machine.    But the machine was learning day by day.    As his wife said it's a matter of time.
    At the end of the week when the wife went out he brought the machine to an expert, who was his former colleague in the army.  The expert easily fixed the system of the machine and said, "This machine will add some points until there will be more than 80."  He thanked him very much and went home and placed the machine where it was before.
    That night his wife set the machine and asked her husband. "Do you love me?"  He confidently answered, "Yes, of course I do."
    The machine said in a cool male voice, "There is an 85% possibility that your husband loves you, including 50 bonus points."
