Magic 8-ball

A Magic 8-ball is a toy used for fortune telling. It is in the form of an oversized billiards 8-ball. It contains a sort of die with 20 triangular faces. This die floats in some blue liquid. It can be viewed through a window in the 8-ball.

The way to do fortune-telling with the ball is as follows: Hold the ball with the window down. Ask a yes-no question, then turn the ball so that the window faces up. In the window, one face of the die will be visible. It will show a response to your question.
