Magic 8 Ball

The canonical twenty. Ten are affirmative such as 'It is certain', 'Yes definitely' and 'Outlook good', five are non-committal such as 'Reply hazy, try again' and 'Ask again later', and five are negative such as 'My reply is no' and 'Very doubtful'.

No. The question box is only there to set the mood; it is never read, stored, or sent anywhere. You can leave it blank and shake as often as you like.

Each shake picks one of the twenty answers at random with your browser's Math.random. Every answer has the same one-in-twenty chance, so the reply is not weighted toward yes or no.

Yes. Draws are independent, so nothing stops the same reply appearing on consecutive shakes. It is not a shuffle that cycles through all twenty before repeating.

Yes. The answer list matches the classic toy, so a shake is twice as likely to be positive as negative. On any single shake the chance of a positive reply is fifty percent.

No. It is a novelty toy for entertainment. The answers are random and carry no real predictive power, so treat them as fun rather than genuine advice.

Yes. The ball is a plain web page, so it works in any modern mobile or desktop browser, and once loaded it keeps working with no connection.

No. Every shake runs locally in your browser and nothing about your question or answer leaves your device, so the tool stays private.
