Answer Ball

Ask it out loud, shake, and read whatever floats up. Twenty answers, each as likely as the next — which makes it a coin flip with better manners.

The answer

Ask it something

The question

Printed above the ball so a screenshot carries both halves. It never touches the answer.
The twenty answers Off, it can also hedge or refuse to answer, which is most of the fun.

Twenty answers, one draw

Every answer is exactly as likely as every other: ten lean yes, five lean no and five refuse to commit. Turning on the straight answer setting drops the hedges and leaves an even yes or no.

The question you type is printed above the ball and nowhere else. It is not read, not counted and not sent anywhere.

Why anyone uses one

The same reason as a coin: not to be told what to do, but to notice which answer you were hoping for. The ball is slower than a coin, and slow is the point.
