The Magic 8 Ball is a classic novelty toy invented in the 1950s, shaped like a giant black eight ball from pool. You ask it a yes or no question, turn it over, and a floating message rises into a small window to give its verdict. It has been a favourite way to make silly decisions and tell fortunes for generations.
The original ball has exactly 20 replies, split three ways: ten are positive, such as "It is certain" and "Signs point to yes", five are non-committal, such as "Reply hazy, try again" and "Ask again later", and five are negative, such as "Don't count on it" and "Very doubtful". Because there are more positive answers than negative ones, the ball leans slightly optimistic, which is part of its charm.
This online version keeps all 20 original answers and picks one using your browser's cryptographic random number generator, so every reply has an equal chance. It is a bit of harmless fun, so take its wisdom with a smile rather than as real advice.
