Here's how this works:
Anyone can submit a free response option in the form of a guess that they have about me. It can be about anything - guesses about my music taste, my research interests, my sleep habits, etc.
If I don't want to answer the question, I'll resolve the option to N/A. (I'm generally pretty open about stuff.)
Otherwise, I'll resolve to YES if the guess was right, NO if the guess was wrong, and to PROB if it was partly right and partly wrong.
Between the option being submitted and me actually seeing and resolving it, you (and other traders) can spend mana to try to make a profit. If you're confident in a guess, buy YES - if you think someone has it wrong, buy NO. I won't bet on the options before resolving then.
I will generally wait for several people to trade in an option before resolving it.
This continues indefinitely, because the market doesn't close when I resolve an individual option.
Have at it!
Thanks to @firstuserhere for this market idea. You can find their original market here.
I had skimmed a few pages, and put it on my list of "books I'd eventually like to read but realistically won't have time for any time soon".
Can't say for sure, but seems unlikely. I don't have many close friends, and they're all pretty reasonable people.
(I think this answer being at 60% was people correctly noting that I have many controversial beliefs, but failing to update on the fact that I'm very public about those beliefs, so I'll pretty quickly drive away anyone who finds that to be a deal-breaker.)
So much mana lying on the table for those willing to do some research...

"Think about" is a low bar, pretty much any "think about" answer will resolve YES.
Even this one?
@bohaska Well I've thought about it now! How should I resolve answers that were false before I saw them, but true before I could click the "resolve" button?
@IsaacKing the classic "don't think of a purple elephant" scenario. power of suggestion makes for easy payouts I suppose?
