Further, the SAT used to be much harder. In 1991, only nine students scored a 1600, whereas people estimate that over 500 students achieve a perfect score today.
Those numbers don't support that claim because of:
- More intelligent students (Flynn effect)
- >50% more HS students
- Higher standardized test participation among HS students (test takers ~doubled with only >50% more students)
doesn't track the time value of money in the global economy

reflect true probabilities, especially for low-probability events
Polymarket could consider at least being explicit about that limitation and disallow wagers beyond 99% like Kalshi and Manifold currently do:

Studies keep showing sugar does not cause hyperactivity in children.
I assume the sugar myth is because food dye causes hyperactivity:
