Can I ask the same yes-or-no question again?

You can, but the cards reward better questions over repeated ones. If Wheel of Fortune gave yes, ask what would need to change for a different answer, or what the question is really about. Re-asking until you get the answer you want is a well-documented way to get noise instead of signal.
