Tips & tricks
- The typed question isn't actually read by the tool — like a real Magic 8-Ball, the answer is random regardless of what you type; the question field is there for the ritual of asking, not as an input the logic depends on.
- Rephrase a question as yes/no before asking — "Should I bring an umbrella?" gets a usable answer, "What will the weather be?" doesn't fit the format even though the tool will still answer it.
- Each of the 20 classic responses has an equal 5% chance of appearing on any given ask, so a run of several similar answers in a row is normal random variance, not a bug.
