Can you get into Berlin's notoriously difficult to enter club?

You've either been yourself, or you've at least heard the stories from people trying or succeeding to get into Berghain, the techno Mecca which made legends of DJs like Marcel Dettmann and Ben Klock. Wear black, don't smile, don't turn up drunk - just some of the tips passed onto revellers, but when it boils down to it, it seems completely subjective.
If you've travelled all the way to Berlin for a stab at getting past the strictest door policy, the chances are you'll feel deflated when the eagle eyed doormen ask you to step to the side. Alas, you might be able to save yourself the heartache with www.bergaintrainer.com (you need Google Chrome for this).
The simulation is seen through the eyes of the raver as the camera walks down the queue before you're met with a bouncer. You are then asked a set of three questions including “How old are?”, “Are you drunk?” and “Do you know who’s spinning tonight?”
Facial recognition technology and voice control then assesses whether or not you'd be allowed to enter Berghain, taking into consideration levels of “anger”, “sadness”, “amazed” and “euphory”.
Did you get in?
