All responses that are not numeric will be ignored. A "numeric" response is one matched by the regex `-?\d+.?\d+`. 1.05 is numeric, -4.00 is numeric, 5 is numeric, "the square root of two" is not numeric.
If multiple equivalent responses are the median (e.g. "2" and "2.0" and "2.00"), I will resolve to the one containing the fewest characters (e.g. "2").
Jun 14, 11:23am: Messed up the regex, correct regex is `-?\d*.?\d*` (and the empty string isn't numeric). At least one digit, optional minus sign and decimal point, no other characters. `.5` is numeric even without leading zero, `5` is numeric.
Jun 14, 11:24am: If there are an even number of responses (e.g. 1, 2, 3, 4), I will resolve to 50% the upper median and 50% the lower median (50% 2, 50% 3). Bet amounts are ignored, all responses are counted equally even if they are at 0%.
Jun 14, 11:27am: If there are an even number of responses and the medians are equivalent (e.g. 1, 2.0, 2.00, 3), I will resolve to 100% the one containing the fewest characters (e.g. "2").
If there is a tie in character length (e.g. "0.5" and ".50"), the winner is the ASCIIbetically first one (".50").

I even wrote a script lol
regex=new RegExp(/^-?\d*\.?\d*$/); responses=Array.from(document.querySelectorAll('div.pb-2 > div:nth-child(1) > div:nth-child(1) > div:nth-child(2) > div:nth-child(2) > div:nth-child(2) > span:nth-child(1) > span:nth-child(1)'), t => t.textContent).filter(t => regex.test(t)).map(t => parseFloat(t)).sort((a,b)=>a-b); responses.slice(Math.floor(responses.length/2)-1,Math.ceil(responses.length/2)+1)

@AdrianKelly to be clear i'm not actually going to check things against the regex, if i don't notice that something is invalid then it's going to be treated as valid.

@jfjurchen ok, thanks for the clarification! Unfortunately the API can't read the responses in free response questions yet

@AdrianKelly Based on what I said it's 69 #1. It would make more sense as 69 #3 but I don't want to change the rules too much mid-market.

@jfjurchen I'm aware, I was just hoping that other people wouldn't spot that (and thus would miscalculate where the median is). :D

@AdrianKelly guess I'll sort by that then, final tiebreaker is the one whose serialized number comes first.
