Frequently asked questions about this event
How is this event resolved?
Janela de apuração: de 01/09/2026 (00:00, horário de Brasília) até 31/10/2026 (23:59). Fatos, anúncios ou eventos anteriores ao início da janela não contam. Resolve como 'Sim' se a colaboração internacional do experimento LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) anunciar formalmente a detecção de matéria escura com significância estatística igual ou superior a 5 sigma (5σ), via comunicado no site oficial do LZ/Berkeley Lab ou artigo revisado por pares até 31/10/2026. Caso contrário, resolve como 'Não'.
How are points scored?
Points depend on the share of votes your side had when you gave your opinion. Being right earns 100 minus that share. Being wrong costs that share.
Right now Yes has 50% of the votes: an opinion on it that turns out right earns about 50 points, a wrong one costs about 50.
