For context, see the following market, henceforth called the Main Market: https://manifold.markets/Loppukilpailija/which-of-these-random-data-points-i
When looking at the market after its resolution, what will I think is the amount of points Manifolders needed to get the correct answer right with >95% probability?
Details
Note that this is not quite the same when the Main Market first hits 5% or 95%, in that short spikes, market manipulations etc. do not count for the resolution.
If the Main Market visits >95% but later marketers become uncertain and the probability comes down, this will not count for "getting the correct answer right with >95% probability".
As I'm not particularly interested in precisely specifying what counts for market manipulation and don't want to encourage edge case attacks, I will leave the description in its above vague form. I might resolve probabilistically in case it's really on a boundary, but again, this market will resolve based on my sole judgement.
If at resolution time the market is less than 95% confident, this market resolves to "Over 40".
I won't trade on this market (nor the Main Market) and will not attempt to manipulate it in any way.

FYI: I will be giving people time to distinguish between the point sets once we hit the 40 point mark, which is something you may want to consider when trading. Also keep in mind the clause about traders becoming uncertain later on.
Huh, seems like I underestimated the number of points needed or the market is overestimating it. Well, I'll set up another market if this is going to take long.
