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.

Definitely would say "all letters in every comic will be uppercase" isn't as likely as the 80-90% it gets each week -- recently it's been hitting NO around once every two or three weeks.

@Calibrate We are also at this great point where we have a lot of the weekly data necessary to make good bets on this market, the bigger question is how far you go back.

It also means that if I want to keep the market interesting and keep people on their toes, I always need to have at least one new (or perhaps seasonal) question.

@traders I feel incredibly prescient throwing this one on here this time, especially since I felt the need to include "need not be correct"
