Don't void this because you don't want to count it.. :-)

Outcomes are not mutually exclusive ... "95" can be predicted twice.

remember what happens when the number 9 gets involved. a real scene stealer, like gravity...

thanks for the suggestion to check out the bulletins, I learned alot about what those are knowing absolute zero before you tipped me in that direction.

addendumdumdum: if the final quake count is 86-99 OR 101-105,
will both of those predictions win because of that pesky 95?

oh wait, dum dum me, gotta get that second pot o' java in. only 95 will result in that outcome. I say let it ride and see if it lands on 95. how about a market just for that outcome for fun...
