Ask Yes-No Questions

Asks Yes-No questions with variable or custom responses.

Introduction

Provides two functions.

The first, yesno(), asks a custom yes-no question with three variable responses.

The order and phrasing of the possible responses varies randomly to ensure the user consciously chooses (as opposed to automatically types their response).

The second, yesno2(), ask a yes-no question with two custom responses.
