Twenty contest entries, yet only nineteen listed. One contest entry remains a mystery. Seeking out the twentieth contest entry to share insights may turn up some valuable information, especially for those planning to enter the contest. There is certainly no embarrassment.  In fact, Loebner Prize Competition Failures have actually happened to world champion chatbots.   So, own up to it, and join the ranks of world champion chatbots such as Mitsuku, which failed one year, and then came back to win the contest.
