This market is a game about guessing a specific person that I'm thinking of. Good luck, have fun! ❤
Market Conditions:
Timeframe
Market remains open until the correct answer is added (see resolution criteria).
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.
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.
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.

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.

@traders I was thinking of Wong Kar-Wai, my favorite director by far. Thank you for participating!
(Fallen Angels, 1995)
Did he direct 2046 ?
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?
