I'll need some more explanation on this one; I'm not sure what "positive asking word" means objectively. What's the positive asking word in "Do I look fat?" and "You ever dance with the devil in the pale moonlight?"

Actually, can I change my guess to make it more clear.

Guess: Asking phrase (e.g. Don't, Do, Aren't, Is, You ever) contains "n't" - > No, Else - > Yes
