Answer Ball

How to use the answer ball

1. Type a question that can be answered yes or no. Saying it in your head works too.
2. Press Shake, tap the ball, or press Enter.
3. The ball shakes and an answer floats up in the window.

What answers can come up

The classic set has 20 answers: 10 that lean yes, 5 that are unsure, and 5 that lean no, so yes comes up half the time. Each answer has the same chance, picked by your browser's cryptographic random number generator. Switch to Yes or no only for a straight 50/50, or write your own answers, one per line; they are saved in this browser.

Just for fun

The answer ball is a game of chance. It cannot see the future and it does not know you. Use it for fun questions and small choices; for anything important, make the decision yourself.
