As I See It Yes
The Magic 8 Ball is a toy used for fortune-telling or seeking advice, manufactured by Mattel.
The Magic 8 Ball is a hollow plastic sphere resembling an over-sized, black and white 8-ball. Inside is a cylindrical reservoir containing a white, plastic, icosahedral die floating in alcohol with dissolved dark blue dye. Each of the 20 faces of the die has an affirmative, negative, or non-committal statement printed on it in raised letters. There is a transparent window on the bottom of the Magic 8 Ball through which these messages can be read.
To use the ball, it must be held at the window initially facing down. After "asking the ball" a yes-no question, the user then turns the ball so that the window faces him, setting in motion the liquid and die inside. When the die floats to the top and one of its faces is pressed against the window, the raised letters displace the blue liquid to reveal the message as white letters on a blue background.
The 20 answers inside a Magic 8 Ball are:
.. It is certain
.. It is decidedly so
.. Without a doubt
.. Yes � definitely
.. You may rely on it
.. As I see it, yes
.. Most likely
.. Outlook good
.. Yes
.. Signs point to yes
.. Reply hazy, try again
.. Ask again later
.. Better not tell you now
.. Cannot predict now
.. Concentrate and ask again
.. Don't count on it
.. My reply is no
.. My sources say no
.. Outlook not so good
.. Very doubtful
10 of the possible answers are affirmative , 5 are negative and 5 are non-committal .
