UTC month end time will be the cut off. It is possible that periods when true are missed, so it may well be when there is first a comment here noting occurrence that is not disputed by reasonable evidence rather than when it first occurs.

Next up 1/3 trillionaire. That is a 33% increase in wealth. :

Don't want too many options - too expensive but any thoughts on what date ranges to use?

Before Jan 1 2024

2024-2026

2027-2030

not before 2031

Does that sound sensible?

Now seen it, avoids any controversy:

1 Elon Musk $250.3 B

at time of this post when Tesla $281.86

predictedYES

$249.4bn with Tesla at 279.82

Reached $247bn up $9.6bn with tesla at $277.4 up $15.6. The high today was $284.25.

Looks like it may have been reached but I didn't see it at Forbes.

Thoughts on whether I should resolve this or wait until someone sees it at Forbes?

predictedYES

I am thinking this is pretty good evidence that it happened on 3rd July. If I can avoid controversy by waiting a couple of days I will do that but if Musk wealth declines I intend to resolve yes unless I get a lot of objections.

Why isn't this multiple choice

predictedYES

@ShadowyZephyr Sensible question, it would give more to bet on. I probably just wasn't thinking clearly when I set it up.

predictedYES

Is 11 options expensive if you only get 4 traders or so?

I would prefer to get the probability distribution than just the average but if it is too costly to do so then go for the cheaper option?
