All of these predictions came true. I would like you, the voter, to rate how impressive on a scale of 1 to 10 you believe each prediction is. Or in other words, to what extent does the success of the prediction indicate amazing abilities or luck of the predictor? "1" is something completely obvious, like the sun will come out tomorrow. "10" is something freakishly improbable, like Martin Luther King Jr. rising up from his grave.

Many of the predictions were too long to fit in the poll questions, so I just put a prediction# for each question. You can look up the corresponding prediction in the topic linked to above.

Oh, please, please, let me not have screwed up on this time-consuming poll. I predict that I did screw up on it and will have to do it all over again. :no

How do you want us to rate our own predictions? As we feel they should be, or just giving them a fixed value?

10. Contestants are obligated to rate their own predictions as "10"

Are we allowed to discuss things?

And should this thread be stickied?

Edit: I noticed after making the post that the thread is stickied. I'll leave the comment here though, as a testament to my momentary blindness.

Edit again: After wandering off to count my toes, I came back to discover that I was originally correct, and I was only blind the second time. I shall now leave this post exactly the way it is so that young children can read it and become utterly confused.

Actually, I stickied it in response to your post. Also, it is fine to talk about whatever you like.

Well, am I alone in realising that almost every one of the predictions was something either 50/50 (X will defeat Y), or 100% certain (Jan 20 will come after Jan 19)? There are going to be a looooooooot of 1s and 2s in this contest, which I find mildly discouraging. Accurate or not, predicting that "either x will happen or it won't" just isn't that impressive.

What about that prediction about the illustration on the cover of Time Magazine? How was that managed?
