No, but you're the first to be on the right track! (you can ask the next question)

You know it is because from question 23 we know it's not JavaScript.

I could make you ask the obvious Q. 25, but that'd be kind of redundant. Although it'd be a good penalty for needlessly including "JavaScript" in your question. (Some people might think, because of the names, that Java and JavaScript are similar enough or based on one or the other enough that my Q23 Yes could've still been referring to JavaScript, but that's not true. They're quite different below the surface.) I didn't see your edit before now. Otherwise I wouldn't have been waiting for you to ask the inevitable question "25) Is it Java?".
Yes, the answer is Java, you win and the next round goes to you! (assuming you want it)
The input string was "The answer is Java, the programming language."
Here are the two MD5 and SHA-512 results, for proof that that's the real answer: (first one is the hash of my string, second is the hash of that hash, which I posted)
