It's because of two things.

First of all the hardware was capped at 1 million, so the first few people voting may have put proper predictions, but they were invalid according to the program or whatever that does it, setting them all to exactly 1 million.

Then some people assumed it meant for the week ending Jan 3rd rather than the LTD on Jan 3rd.... some of them perhaps due to the low averages displayed when others predictions were set to 1 million.

The average shown therefore includes the real predictions, but also some that are drastically low which pull the average down.

true, I wonder if it will affect the payout for the normal predictions much.

 

It should mean those of us with decent predictions get more money.... so shhhh!

 

TWRoO you are correct all the way around. However, those who voted 1m and fail to respond to me will be put at either 1/2 or 2x the reasonable expected value. This will cause the average to come more in line with a reasonable estimate, while making them lose everything with 0% accuracy
