Magic Coffee Mug Frequently Asked Questions

Try the Magic Coffee Mug!

The Magic Coffee Mug replied to my question with an answer that didn't make any sense. Why?

You probably did not ask a question that could be answered with a "Yes" or "No" answer.

For example, don't ask "When will I get a new car?" Instead ask, "Will I get a new car this year?"

If you are doing serious research on a topic, the mug will get bored very quickly and ain't gonna help you. We suggest that you try Google.com instead.

What do the checkboxes marked SUGAR, CREAM and DECAF do?

If you select SUGAR, you're more likely to get a "yes' answer to your question.

If you select DECAF, you're more likely to get a "maybe" sort of answer.

If you select CREAM, the coffee color changes. That's all.

I love the Magic Coffee Mug. Can I put a link to it on my web site?

What is the "last 5 questions & answers" section of your web page? Are those for real?

Yes indeed. Those are the last five questions that the Magic Coffee Mug was asked, and the Mug's answers to each. The list is continuously updated as folks seek advice.

I asked a question, but I don't see it on the list of the last five questions and answers. Why not?

Use your browser to refresh your view of the web page (usually, pressing F5 will do it). If that doesn't work, then maybe our server has been overloaded.

Why can I ask the same question twice sometimes, but other times I cannot?

If at first you get a "Maybe" kind of answer, you can try, try again until you receive a "Yes" or "No" answer.

Okay, so why can't I ask my question again after getting a "Yes" or "No" answer?

Because the Magic Coffee Mug has spoken. You cannot change the inevitable. 

On the list of the last five questions and answers I see the first answer to my question, but not the second answer to the same question. Why not?

We do that so other people who look at the list won't get bored with your question. Ask something else!

How long will my question and answer remain on the Magic Coffee Mug page?

For as long as it takes five other questions to be asked of the Magic Coffee Mug. It could be there for a few seconds, or it could be displayed for several hours.

I can't get the Magic Coffee Mug to work. What's the deal?
