Will Biden's physical show that he got a passing score on a MoCA exam of cognitive function?

N/A

The Montreal Cognitive Assessment is a standard clinical assessment used by neurologists to screen for dementia. This is the same test Donald Trump frequently bragged about getting a high score on while president after being hospitalized with Covid. It is not a measure of intelligence, but rather a measure of potential impairment.

I can’t find any indication he took the MoCA so I am resolving N/A.

predictedNO

@BTE >:( but his physical didn't show that he passed the MoCA!

Ah, I'm not even mad, fair enough I guess

@ForrestTaylor It was actually your comment yesterday that convinced me to cancel. I do have some first hand experience with the MoCA and I don’t think any 80 year old gets a pass on basic cognitive assessment during their physical. So in my opinion he did take it but they chose not to share. We didn’t see his full record, just a summary written by his physician. This is the only outcome that felt fair to me. Sorry to disappoint. I wish I could still tip because then it is easier to avoid unsatisfying resolutions like this because I would just make it good with the losers. Hopefully they bring them back.

predictedNO

@BTE You can't tip? It seems like manalinks are still active...
But if that's what you say about the MoCA, I believe you, and it's fair that we didn't actually see the full record, so I understand resolving N/A. I was trying to be a tricksy little creature

If we do not see the results of the assessment, with this resolve N/A?

@Duncan It better not. I'm interpreting the question literally.

predictedYES

@ForrestTaylor If it shows him (Biden) the results, but doesn't show us the results, doesn't that mean this market never closes?

predictedYES

@Duncan Or rather, closes, but never resolves.

predictedNO

@Duncan I don't think he even took the MoCA tbh

Sweetening the pot again

Kind of odd that nobody has placed a YES bet since the odds swung below 50%. Where are all the people who were buying YES earlier today? I'll juice the odds a little more to provide a tasty incentive.

predictedNO

I mean, come on. How is it possible that over in the NO column it's only me and two bots, and we're winning?

I don't think they usually release that sort of thing to the public

@ForrestTaylor They may not. Trump bragging about his score was really the biggest tell of his incompetence so you are probably right.
