Magic 8 Ball

Ask a yes/no question and get a classic Magic 8 Ball answer.

The Magic 8 Ball has been dispensing cryptic wisdom since 1950: ask a yes-or-no question, shake, and one of twenty answers floats up — from a confident "It is certain" to a discouraging "Don't count on it." It decides nothing real, of course, but like flipping a coin, the answer often reveals what you were secretly hoping for.

Think of a question, tap the ball, and get one of the classic twenty replies at random. Ten answers are positive, five non-committal, and five negative — the same distribution as the original toy. Ask as many times as you like; the ball never tires.
