import random

ans = True

while ans:
question = input("Aks the magic 8 ball a question: (press enter to quit)")

answer = random.randint(1,8)

if question == "":
sys.exit()

elif ans == 1:
print("It is certain")

elif ans == 2:
print("Outlook good")

elif ans == 3:
print("You may rely on it")

elif ans == 4:
print("Ask again later")

elif ans == 5:
print("Concentrate and ask again later")
