Question 1

Is the yes or no answer truly random?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Each draw uses your browser's cryptographically capable random source (crypto.getRandomValues when available). Yes and No each have an exactly 50% chance in the basic mode.

Question 2

What is the Magic 8-Ball mode?

Accepted Answer

Magic 8-Ball mode answers from the classic 20-phrase set: 10 affirmative (Yes, It is certain, Without a doubt, ...), 5 non-committal (Ask again later, Reply hazy try again, ...), and 5 negative (No, My sources say no, Very doubtful, ...).

Question 3

Can I add my own answer choices?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Switch to the Custom mode and type your own answer choices, one per line. The tool picks one uniformly at random each time you press the orb or button.

Question 4

Are my questions stored anywhere?

Accepted Answer

No. Questions are kept only in your current browser tab for the History display and disappear when you close the page. Nothing is uploaded to a server.
