On the 26th and 27th of August, there will be the biggest survey of Loch Ness since the 1970s. Will it find Nessie?

Resolves YES if the exploration finds a convincingly likely explanation for the Loch Ness Monster phenomenon, such as:

• A pleisiosaur

• Giant eels

• sturgeon

• Remains of any of the above

• A submersible that looks like Nessie

Resolves NO if the exploration finds nothing that convincingly explains the Nessie phenomenon.

As there may be some subjective discussion of what a "sufficiently likely explanation" is, I will not bet on this market. I will take my guidance from the exploration, if they leave the impression that "this is unsolved, perhaps we will never know" then I will resolve NO, if they lean more "this is the most likely explanation, here's the evidence we found, probably no point searching any further" then I will resolve YES. If I'm not sufficiently convinced either way then I will poll Manifold as to how to resolve.

Close date is the end of the survey but I will delay resolution until the exploration announces their results.
