I'm still crying in my phosphors over my so-so performance. Oh well, at least I got the recall and Cruz numbers close. Bu my squared differences got all huge and ugly with Arnold. (Without Arnold, 8.65. With Arnold, 255.14. Yuck.)

Interesting that the average did quite well. It would have placed 19th, which shows that we all did a pretty good job combined.

Casey:

What's interesting is that's how an information market would function--not giving you the truth but steering you away from extremes of nonsense.
