gollark: You can annoy the predictor and make them need more CPU time by basing your prediction on facts like "what is the least significant bit of the latest block on the bitcoin blockchain" and "what is the value of [SOME STOCK MARKET PARAMETER]", depending on how early they fill the boxoids.
gollark: Regardless of what choice you make, the contents of the boxes are fixed, thus pick mildly more money. This probably sounds unsmart to you, which is either because you (and the server generally) are/is right, or because you fell into one side and now think it's obvious.
gollark: As I said, in general apparently both sides are split pretty evenly, have fairly convincing arguments each way, and both think that their answer is obvious and the other is wrong.
gollark: Perhaps we are HIGHLY smart unlike random internet people and OBVIOUSLY picked the correct® answer, or perhaps we just hold similar philosophical/intellectual/whatever views which make us more inclined to one-box.
gollark: I mean, maybe the average internet rabble is just bad at understanding what "perfect prediction" means, but you could probably argue that it's "rational" at the time of choosing to take both, even if it's... acausally...? worse for you. Nobody here appears to have.
