I think this will probably take a week or two at least.

@SteveSokolowski @strutheo
Is this just main Olympics in August or does it include paraolympics?
Is there a record of the medal table at end of July to deduct from final medal table to get August medals?

I thought the understanding was that it was for the Olympics.

resolved as 50% but this market is for "happen in August" so I don't know.

If it was for all of main olympics, shouldn't it have resolved at close to same time as above market? That it remains open makes me wonder if it is waiting for paraolympics or to find medal table info at end of July.

Is there something that tells us what "the understanding" was?

@Kraalnaxx NOT Pokemon Presents or game specific direct (ala Splatoon 3 Direct). Sorry, was barred from editing title.

@strutheo this is essentially certain for the United States in any given summer month

Resolves yes https://www.rtve.es/noticias/20240823/calor-muertes-agosto-espana/16225400.shtml

@strutheo This one can resolve. I think you picked 50% before, since the US tied with China, right?

@TheAllMemeingEye This one just passed 1M. https://youtu.be/SXOHCiukZPw?si=Z6niDvFBe0psC_F1

Thanks 👍

@strutheo on what basis?
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2024-07-08/how-many-people-have-died-from-extreme-heat-officials-struggle-to-track
suggests different measurements from 2 to 600 per year just for Miami Dade county.

@TheAllMemeingEye Two comedy videos about wind gusts have been posted and gotten over 1M views: https://youtu.be/EYS3PNuINyg?si=F-gKkqw8hh4Ed98u

No clue what the second one is about lol, but the first one might just about count as an edge case haha

It's about how in India, wind ("even a light breeze") used to cause power cuts (due to flimsy infrastructure), but now they hope it's windy because the power cuts are all caused by A/C overuse instead. If I'm parsing it correctly.

I think the first one is more directly about gusts though.

@SteveSokolowski resolve pls

Tom Cruise showed up, huge gaffe, reputation of the Olympics permanently ruined /s

I'm not sure what you want me to resolve. The text of this option is pretty clear - I'm not the person who has the authority to resolve it.

By the way, the most astonishing part of the ceremony is that anyone watching believed that LA has no homeless people, and that everyone is rich and a star.

@strutheo what did you think?

what did he do? i just saw him carrying a flag on a motorcycle?

Watch the whole sequence. He did more than that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSLi5aVQeIc

As the comments below the video say, he certainly doesn't look like he's 61. When my grandfather was 61, he had glaucoma and wasn't able to see and my grandmother was in a wheelchair. If anything, the best lesson from this is how medicine has advanced.

That said, I don't think it's astonishing compared to other stunts he's done. The only dangerous part was that he had no backup line.

But perhaps his other stunts, like hanging onto a plane as it takes off, are so far above astonishing that it isn't appropriate to compare to those.

He jumped off the top of the stadium in Paris in front of the entire crowd https://x.com/olympics/status/1823300442698252296?s=46&t=WavuhYisKVKuwWFJUqwhzQ

Ok I'll watch haha
