Vardi in his Editor's Letter "Would Turing Have Passed the Turing Test?" (Sept. 2014). Vardi was referring to a New Yorker blog by Gary Marcus, rather than to our experiment directly. But Marcus had no firsthand experience with our 2014 experiment nor has he seen any of our Turing Test conversations. Our experiment involved 30 human judges, 30 hidden humans, and five machines--Cleverbot, Elbot, Eugene Goostman, JFred, and Ultra Hal; for background and details see http://turingtestsin2014.blogspot.co.uk/2014/06/eugenegoostman-machine-convinced-3333.html. We used social media to recruit judges and a variety of hidden humans, including males, females, adults, teenagers, experts in computer science and robotics, and non-experts, including journalists, lecturers, students, and interested members of the public. Prior to the tests, the judges were unaware of the nature of the pairs of hidden entities they would be interrogating; we told them only that they would simultaneously interrogate one human and one machine for five minutes and that the human could be a male or female, child or adult, native English speaker, or
