Categorizing Words and Category Values

Question

We were set an algorithm problem in class today, as a \"if you figure out a solution you don\'t have to do this subject\". SO of course, we all thought we will give it a go.

Answer 1

My first thought would be to leverage external data. Write a program that google-searches each word, and takes the 'category' that appears first/highest in the search results :)

That might be considered cheating, though.
