Resolution criteria
This market resolves to the total number of couples consisting of first-year students and/or junior counselors at the Ross Mathematics Program in Ohio at the end of the camp on July 24, 2026.
Eligible Participants: Both individuals in the couple must be first-year students or junior counselors attending the Ohio site during the 2026 session.
Timing: The couple must be together at the official end of the camp (July 24, 2026). Couples who break up before the camp ends do not count toward the final tally.
Source of Truth: This market resolves based on the verified consensus of the camp's participants at the end of the session. The creator will resolve this market honestly using first-hand knowledge or community-verified reports.
Background
The Ross Mathematics Program is an intensive, six-week residential summer program for number theory. In 2026, the Ohio session is hosted at Otterbein University in Columbus, Ohio, from June 14 through July 24. Highly collaborative summer math camps of this nature frequently feature student-led traditions that may include forming couples.
1,000There are some couples that aren't so publicized; that is to say, you may only know they're together if you're a close friend. (source: I was at Ohio last yr) So, are there any guarantees/safeguards to ensure the number will be reasonably accurate, like a minimum number of people you'll ask before resolving, for example?
@AbcBcd someone who is "in the know" promised to tell me the number at the end of camp. i'll also ask around independently, at least 3 people. if responses vary a lot, i'll ask more people until im confident
@lollipop I can think of nothing funnier than spicing up the antics of this camp with a prediction market. Here are some 24-hour limit orders. Have fuuuun~!
