Resolved by Wikipedia with weights equal to the total number of speakers
Please help me understand... shouldn't these percentages be resolving to an expected value of 5 instead of 1? Unless I'm missing something this seems like it would be an easy grab of a nice payout, especially with "other" to ensure that the list is collectively exhaustive. Is the catch that we know none of us will live until 2100 for a payout and so it's okay that the numbers are 1/5th of what they should be, as long as they're correctly proportionate to each other while we're all alive and here playing Manifold? Or am I having a complete brain blip here?
@ChrisSnyder the top 5 will resolve to fractions, so they will sum up to 1. All other ones will resolve to 0.
@ArmandodiMatteo Thanks. And now I see “with weights equal to the total # of speakers”. So for the 5 winners it’s not resolving as yes (100%) or no (0%). Makes sense now.
@Stralor Those percentages are for total speakers. If it was native speakers only, Chinese would be the largest.
