What does 67¢ mean?

67¢ means the room is 67% sure the answer is Yes — everyone’s calls on the question, weighed together, resting at 67 out of a possible 100.

The ¢ sign makes it look like a shop — I get it — so the instinct is to read the number like a menu. Don’t. The better way to hold it is as a needle on a dial: 67 isn’t what anything costs, it’s where the room’s confidence is pointing right now. Well past a coin-flip, a long way short of certain.

And the needle is live. Catch the detail everyone else is skimming past, and your call nudges it — 67 stops being the number. That’s what a price is here: not a menu and not a verdict, just the room’s best current read, still open to being beaten by yours.

That’s all reading a prediction market price takes: one number, how-sure-out-of-100, moving whenever somebody reads sharper. The number’s whole biography — who makes it, and why nobody sets it — is over at the middle.
