The original market on this question (linked below) had buckets with ranges of 100 people; we made it before we knew a lot of the specifics. Now, it's looking pretty likely that the attendance will be somewhere between 200 and 400 — or at least, the original market is saying ~83% as of the time of this writing (Thurs Sept 14 5:46pm PT). So here's a more specific market!

i'm resolving this to the confidence that @Austin , @SirSalty , and i had that each of the buckets was true. i took the average of the log odds for each of our estimates (made independently) and resolved each bucket to the %PROB of those log odds. let me know if you have questions/want clarification!

@saulmunn I don’t think it’s showing up as resolved

@MarkHamill should be now. sorry about the late resolution!

@saulmunn any update on this?

@Capresis thanks for the ping!

i'm now working on it, i'll keep you updated. i (and @Austin ) were pretty disappointed with our systems for counting things, so it might take a few days to figure this out.

@Capresis resolved. take a look here for my resolution process. lmk if you have questions/concerns!

there’s a chance i’ll have to N/A this market, since i took a pretty poor count of exactly how many people came :(

@saulmunn I thought I talked to one of the volunteers that was in charge of the official count? Total number of badges grabbed minus replacement badges or something?

@saulmunn Can you resolve proportionately to the possible categories rather than NA it?

@Shelvacu yeah, except it’s slightly more complicated than the layout you have (what about blanks?), & we lost track of some of the numbers at the end

@BenjaminShindel i could, but this would be “saul’s subjective estimate.” i’m going to spend some more time ~next week, when i have more time, digging through various spreadsheets & stuff to see if i can get as accurate an estimate as possible.

@saulmunn I’m happier with a subjective estimate resolved proportionately as to what you think is possible than with an N/A which would roll back all profits on the market altogether, tbh

@BenjaminShindel yeah, that checks out. i didn’t even realize it was possible to resolve multichoice markets to PROB, lol

@saulmunn Any updates? It's been a month

@Shump @benshindel should be resolved now, see here for my resolution process. lmk if you have questions/concerns!

70 badges unclaimed as of right now

currently: 310 total guests, composed of ~25 guests of honor, ~60 invitees, 109 paid tickets, and 110 students :D
