To make things more interesting, I will reopen after the first and second comics to allow people to bet using this new information, as long as there are no questions regarding how one of the questions should resolve.
I will resolve any answers to these questions as soon as I have time to resolve and the result has become clear. If an answer is potentially ambiguous, I will wait to see thoughts posted on explain xkcd, and will either resolve or conclude N/A based on the possible consensus there.
Others are free to add options. I will delete duplicates and ask regarding resolution criteria for potentially vague options, or questions that I am not sure how to resolve. If you believe that there is potentially a vague option, feel free to comment so we can address the issue as early as possible.
I may bet in this market, but do not bet on questions about myself. On debatable questions, I will ask for trader input, and will put my reasoning once I come to a conclusion.
Update 2025-04-07 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): Important update:
The resolution criteria now include tariffs as a type of tax.

@TheAllMemeingEye Huh, it was not something I considered. I was definitely doing this in reference to U.S. tax season, but I believe I would have to include tariffs to be true to definitions. To try to remain true to the spirit of the market, what do you think, @MingCat @HthePenguin?
