My good buddy is going to USACO Camp this year.

He claims that he will not develop a crush, but this does not seem like him.

Our other friend claims that "he will bet all his money and both kidneys" that my good buddy will develop a crush.

He swears on his very, very, very expensive refrigerator (it has one of those see through doors!!) that he will tell me if he does develop a crush at USACO Camp.

For context, my buddy discloses that his age is "between 15-17". He is most likely straight, given his past record. USACO Camp gender distribution last year was 23 boys to 9 girls.

This market resolves YES if he develops a crush during USACO Camp or within 1 week of USACO Camp ending.

This market resolves NO if otherwise.

  • Update 2025-05-08 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): The creator has clarified that the market resolves based on whether the friend develops a crush on someone else. It does not resolve based on someone else developing a crush on the friend.

  • Update 2025-05-08 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): The creator has clarified the specific dates for USACO Camp 2025:

    • The camp will run from the 22nd to the 31st (of the relevant month in 2025). This defines the timeframe for the resolution condition 'develops a crush during USACO Camp' and the end date for calculating 'within 1 week of USACO Camp ending'.

Does the longevity of the market being open signal that it hasn't happened by that point? Do we get daily updates? Or will we only know at the end of the market time frame?

@Quroe The "USACO Camp" mentioned in this market refers to the annual US Coding team's week long training camp. This year, USACO Camp runs from 22-31. If everything goes smoothly, you all should expect semi-regular updates.

What’s your friend’s dating history been like?

@OP He seems to have gone to sleep already; I will ask how much he is willing to share tomorrow morning.

However, I (think I) can say his track record isn't too bad!

@OP He affirms my claim that his track record isn't too bad haha

How and why does a 15-17 yr old own an expensive refrigerator?

bought Ṁ50 NO

@Gameknight This is true! Perhaps an attractive quality...?

@Gameknight still am odd thing to have. Does he have his own house or apartment? Clearly a different world than I grew up in

@AlexanderTheGreater He does not have his own house or apartment. He lives with his parents, but that house is still quite large! It has been said to be "a very luxurious home".

@LZ

Perhaps an attractive quality...?

sure, but the market is about whether he develops a crush towards someone else, not the other way around.

@Gameknight Yea, that's true. I guess it doesn't matter what other people think of him.

Does your buddy have abs?

@LucasQuan He does! My buddy has a set of 6 pack abs (at least he did a few months ago I don't know if he still does).

@LZ jokes on him i have a 6 pack of fat

How old is your friend?

What’s the rough demographic breakdown of the camp?

What’s your friend’s orientation?

@OP hmm
these seem to be good questions

I'll add more description into the description once I get his consent to put that info there

@OP ive added some context; hope it helps!
