Inside the game

How your choices shape this result

The answer weights below are the rules used by this game. Add the points from your chosen options; the outcome with the highest total wins. These points express our game design, not a measurement of you or anyone else.

When outcomes tie, a repeatable calculation chooses between them. Names can affect that tie-break; they do not reveal private information. Percentages, initials, ages and dates in outcome titles are authored parts of the story, not calculated probabilities or forecasts.
