This market closes when it reaches quiescence (72 hours with probability moving by at most 1%). This market resolves 30 days later.

If during that month a nuclear weapon was detonated offensively (using the criteria from /jack/will-a-nuclear-weapon-be-detonated-6843759174bb), this market resolves YES.

Otherwise it resolves MKT with probability 95% and NO with probability 5%.

[Since this market is experimental, I reserve the right to resolve it N/A if this market mechanism is not working]

predicted YES

I'll resolve NO if I roll 20 and 7% if roll anything else.

predicted YES

predicted YES

This market has quiesced on Nov 18 at 17:17:21 EST. It will resolve YES if a nuclear weapon is detonated offensively by Dec 18 17:17:21 EST.

Suppose the true probability is p and the quiescent market price is q. Then the expected payout is p + (1 - p) * 0.95q. By EMH, this must be equal to q. Therefore q = p / (0.05 + 0.95p) ≈ 20p (where approximation holds if p << 1, which is hopefully the case)
