What is 'the middle'?

The middle is the live number on a majjha market — the 67¢ you see when you open a question. Nobody set it. It’s where a whole room’s calls come to rest: stack up everyone leaning Yes against everyone leaning No, and the balance point is the price. It always totals a hundred — there’s only so much certainty to spread across two sides.

And it moves. Read the question better than the room did, call it, and the number slides your way — until enough people follow that the middle itself shifts. It keeps breathing right up until the question settles and the room finds out who read it clearest.

That’s also why the whole place is named for it. Majjha means the middle — the honest point between one side that’s certain it happens and another just as certain it won’t. The truth usually rests somewhere in between, it moves, and finding it is the game.

The full story — where the number comes from, and why it takes no sides — is what the middle means. Just want to know if that price is real? The short answer’s in the FAQ.
