It is often said an event will not occur before pigs fly, let us determine when exactly that will be.

Resolves to 2200 if answer is >= 2200

Resolution criteria: My subjective judgement of when the first year a pig (singular) is flies.

I will be likely to resolve yes if:

  • The pig flies for >= 5 seconds,

  • The pig is actually generating an upwards force and not simply being dropped from a plane,

  • There are credible reports of a pig flying,

  • The pig has a jetpack strapped to it and the pig is able to control its flight.

  • The pig/ the lowest point of the enclosure it is in is more than 3m above the ground

Things that are likely to not count:

  • A pig being dropped from a plane

  • A pig with a jetpack strapped onto it that it cannot control.

  • A pig in a hovercraft.

I may change the two above lists at any time, especially during the first week of this market.

this is doable today if someone really wanted to right? pig on a hobby hovercraft that can control it with its nose?

@jacksonpolack I would not count a hovercraft as flying. Thanks though I will make the description clearer.

I meant something like this - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dh0G20lNHMI - which (idk, not a flying thing engineer) seems more doable for pigs than jetpacks

@jacksonpolack Yh, the jetpack thing was just a specific example. If a pig was on that and controlling it, I would likely resolve yes.
