Challenge #263: Supernatural 7-Sphere

A solution to last week's challenge can be found here7.png

 

Most Alteryx users would consider themselves to be inquisitive, which leads to a never-ending quest for knowledge and some snazzy solutions along the way. It also means we are likely to ask a lot of questions - some of which we can't answer... In desperation we may resort to asking/shaking a certain billiard ball for answers. It's time to create a more modern version for those troublesome times!

 

Create an Analytic App that allows users to enter a yes/no question and randomly receive one of seven helpful responses.
