A sequel to /Joshua/who-will-manifold-run-over-in-the-t

It turns out we left behind our backup flux capacitor in the timeline where we were stranded! We need to go back and get it! Unfortunately that means going through the Time Tracks again, and more people will have to get run over. If the trolley runs over someone, they suddenly die of an aneurysm and that timeline has to deal with the consequences.

If someone is run over, their name resolves Yes. If they aren't run over, their name resolves No.

Each name has been paired with another name, and presented as a poll. These polls will resolve N/A, and all mana you spend on them will be returned to you. But at market close, I will tally everyone who holds Yes and No shares in each poll and use this to determine who is run over by the Time Trolley by popular vote (# Yes holders vs # No holders).

The individual names then resolve Yes or No accordingly.
