Bounty market
This market is bounty-tiered (PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT UNDER YOUR ANSWER SO I CAN TIP IT):
At least M$ 50 for an idea I have not yet considered that seems relevant
At least M$ 100 for any test and experiments I make
At least M$ 250 for any good ideas (and up for very good ideas)
This market resolves in equal proportion to any test that I make starting from now, on either close date or when I've found out a satisfying answer, whichever happens sooner.
Context
This market is a sister market to
The "Potato Mystery" is the effect that eating only potatoes (and apparently, raw potato starch) has on me. My goal is to find out exactly what works to have a safe-in-the-long-run supplement/diet modification to have.
I am running out of very pertinent tests to make progress, so I'm asking here for ideas. You can just leave an answer, though note that if you give some justifications for it I am likely to tip more and more likely to try it out.
Recap
You can find the update thread here: https://manifold.markets/JoyVoid/bounty-market-why-do-potatoes-affec#oFPss6oQJliQtE753zTB and some personal data/tests here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Doh2gkL8JTCfP0fLycsA6sLsNk5sYvOXdUI17JBzWq4
A quick recap so far:
- Rice + starch added in sauce seems to systematically trigger the effect.
- Rice alone does not seem to work, though I have yet to cook it in the exact same way I did when it was working. Probably today.
- Maltodextrine and vitargo do not seem to work. Have to confirm for Maltodextrine.
- Sugar might be the main culprit and mechanism for inattention/directionlessness?

@brp Yeah, probably will. I seem to have developped acne from the potato starch for now though, so will probably wait a week for it to subside before doing more tests with it.
Corn starch in water I did try three times, and I recall the results being mixed. It worked one time out of the three, and I'm not sure what made that one different. It might be that I actually need to eat with the starch for it to work? So maybe I should actually try maltodextrine and vitargo with the rice instead of without?
@JoyVoid Didn't know potato starch could give you acne... that might explain a lot of my troubles as a child, given my diet at the time contained a lot of potatoes. Huh.
