Resolve como 'Sim' se o Bureau International des Poids et Mesures (BIPM) ou o Comitê Consultivo para Tempo e Frequência (CCTF) publicar documento oficial incluindo transições do átomo de lutécio na lista oficial de representações secundárias do segundo do SI até 31/10/2026, verificável no site bipm.org. 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 No has 56% of the votes: an opinion on it that turns out right earns about 44 points, a wrong one costs about 56.
