Resolved
NO

Resolves to YES iff xkcd publishes a comic that mentions superconductors, or is directly related to superconductors, or if any reasonable explanation of the comic (for example on explainxkcd.com) refers to superconductors.

Image titletext is considered a part of the comic.

Any comic mentioning superconductors published prior to Aug 1st 2023 has no effect on resolution.

For this market to resolve YES, the publication

  • must appear at the URL xkcd.com.

  • must be put online before it's Aug 8th in the CEST timezone.

It is now August 8th in the CEST timezone, and no new comic on xkcd.

This should resolve NO

10min to the deadline. Come on Randall!

Ok folks, about 25min until we find out! No matter how it goes thanks for betting on this market, it was fun!

predicted NO

Seems like free m$ at this point

@AGucci He hasn't updated yet today, but he might do so before deadline.

Only 1 more chance before August 8th (next Monday)
