This market is a game about guessing a specific person that I'm thinking of. Good luck, have fun! ❤

Market Conditions:

  1. Timeframe

  • Market remains open until the correct answer is added (see resolution criteria).

  1. Resolution Criteria

  • At market closing time, if someone has added the person I'm thinking of to the market, it will resolve to that person.

  • If the person I'm thinking of has not been added to the market, the closing time will be extended for another week.

  1. Question Mechanics

  • Each user can ask one yes/no question in the comments every 8 hours; I will answer with "yes," "no," or "unknown."

  • If a question does not follow the parameters (e.g., too much gray area, misleading yes/no), I will reply "rephrase." Rephrasing does not require waiting 8 hours.

  • I may refuse to answer meta questions (e.g., "has the person already been added," "does the person’s name have X number of letters") at my discretion.

  1. Guessing and Prizes

  • To guess, add your answer to the market. Do not ask point-blank "is it this specific person"; only add answers to the market.

  • The user who adds the correct answer will receive a Ṁ250 prize upon resolution.

Additional Notes:

  • I will not trade on this market.

  • This market’s rules were copied and modified from those of @TheSchwa.

  • Initial liquidity is low to facilitate addition of answers. Edit: I was unaware that adding liquidity after market creation changed the cost of adding answers. To counter that I'll refund Ṁ50 for one added answer per user, up to 10 total.

  • Update 2025-06-01 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): The creator has confirmed that the person they are thinking of is real.

@traders I was thinking of Wong Kar-Wai, my favorite director by far. Thank you for participating!

(Fallen Angels, 1995)

bought Ṁ200 YES

Were they born on 17 July 1958?

Did he direct 2046 ?

opened a Ṁ5,000 YES at 90% order

Was he born before 1 January 1955?

I forgot it wasn't over yet. So I got one last question to see if I'm actually cooked. Has the director in question ever won the Golden Goblet Award for Best Director, an award given at the Shanghai International Film Festival?

Are you thinking of Tian Zhuangzhuang?

So not Tian Zhuangzhuang then?

Aah market closing time it resolves. Right. Sorry my bad
