This market resolves YES if, during November, there is a Google search term which spikes like crazy. This is determined based on the following method:

  • On Google Trends, pick "Worldwide" and "Web Search".

  • Pick a search term that you want to check for craziness.

  • Pick "google" as the search term to compare to.

  • Look at the end-of-day scores for "google" and [term]. The [term] : google ratio is the craziness score (C).

  • If on one of the days, C(term, day) > 0.5, and there exists a day in the previous 30 days such that C(term, day) / C(term, past_day) > 5, then this term is indeed CRAZY, and the market resolves YES.

Important exception: scheduled events which are fully expected to trend ahead of time do not count as crazy, even if they meet the craziness criteria. This includes things like:

  • Olympics

  • World Cup

  • Big movie releases

  • U.S. presidential elections

Some events in recent years which did meet the craziness criteria are:

  • Assassination of Qasem Soleimani

  • Death of Kobe Bryant

  • COVID-19 pandemic

  • January 6 capitol riots

  • Russian invasion of Ukraine

  • Will Smith slapping Chris Rock

  • Death of Queen Elizabeth II

  • Israel-Gaza war

  • Trump assassination attempt

  • Biden dropping out of election

  • Iran-Israel war

  • Charlie Kirk assassination

Due to the partially subjective criteria, I am not betting in this market.

I'd expect this to have decayed a lot more. It's still at 37%.

"nyc" appears to be trending, but this doesn't count either.

"jays" and "dodgers" both spiked, but they don't count because they fall under the scheduled events rule.

Nothing crazy last month. Let's see if something happens this time.
