Resolved
YES

About once per day, I'll roll a $daysleft-sided die and on a 1 I resolve this market. I'll look at the order book, multiply each YES limit order by its probability, and add them up. I'll multiply each NO limit order by (1-its probability) and add them up. I resolve to whether the first sum is larger than the second sum. Only each trader's largest-in-M$ limit order per side counts.

echo -n "If the rightmost digit of the hash of the next block on https://blockexplorer.one/ethereum/mainnet after I post this comment that is between 1-7 is 1, the market resolves YES because 283.05 is more than 144.86." | sha256sum https://blockexplorer.one/ethereum/mainnet/blockId/15269689 has hash 0x36a70f87a82dc2c0f2fa96fd9c789d52ddb16de821d1b62e769e7d67fd1c99d9 whose rightmost such digit is 1. These dice just keep coming up 1, don't they?
predicted YES
(94ed699190ad6691a58643acbf42e4189ee741e0562b05a0edda9871a9991d3a, of course, being the output of that command. In hindsight I could have just closed the market and skipped the hashing of the message - whatever :) )
predicted YES
Huh, can't view the order book while the market is closed. Oh well, too risky to open for a few seconds to take a screenshot now - I suppose you'll have to trust me or someone who remembers the order book as I did. Here are my calculations: 102*40+10*40+200*40+97*40+204*30+194*30+5*1 = 28305 40*10+33*81+33*84+24*152+23*156+20*70+1*5 = 14486

@Spindle what do you mean, did I do something wrong here? I hope you don't mean that I still need to roll dice to resolve this market on each of the remaining days - for peace of mind, I just RNG'd a 1-6 using a physical die and it came up 6, and each time a 1 comes up I can look at my notes for the order book and confirm that I resolved correctly. The way I'd resolve a "wrongfully" resolved market again, I compensate everyone who got "too little" mana last time out of my pocket. So if the resolutions are all equal, I'm in the clear.
predicted NO
@Gurkenglas no this is all a charade. U have DELT WITH DARK FORECES
