How many category 1-5 hurricanes will hit Florida?

@101airborne...thanks for your service to the USA, and welcome to hubdub. i have a feeling you will soon meet the admin or a superuser.

Welcome to Hubdub 101airborne. Good job on creating your first market. If you ever have any questions feel free to email any of the admins or superusers you see on the site.

Thank you guys... and I hope you mean that I will meet the admin/superuser in a good way...

Just remember that most times of the day or night there is an admin or superuser on the site, you can go to the about screen and click on hubdub team, that will show you all the admins, feel free to add us as friends, or send us emails.

@ 101airborne -- dieseldog's "feeling" about "meeting a super user" was accurate ;-)

I suspended your question as the 2d and 3rd outcome options overlap -- that is, they both would settle as "yes" if the correct prediction was "4".

Many times corrections to the options can simply be made by a category editor -- however, if the duplicate #4 was just removed from the third option ("4-5"), then the resulting likelihood for the single result of "5" might not be accurate.

I confess, with so many hurricane stories, I don't know if a category 1-5 hurricane has hit Florida during 2008. If not, then this question would also need a "None" option -- otherwise it would be voided at settlement time if there weren't any category 1-5 hurricanes that hit Florida during 2008.

Let the category editor know what you would like to do, by sending a message via the "Flag for review" link, and/or, if you have questions about either editing or rewriting your question, feel free to post your questions here in the comment thread, and other users (super, terrific, outstanding ;-) will be happy to assist. (You can only use the "Flag for review" link once per question.)

Welcome to Hubdub!

The market has been clarified. Options have been edited. It was possible to edit options because there were no wagers on the final two options at the time of market suspension. So no wagers were effected.

Ah, this is tougher than it looks! Sorry about that. I will learn more before I post a new question.... And I thought I had all my bases covered with this one. Thank you for helping out!

@ 101airborne..no need to aplogise. i'm not the best question maker and i'm sure as you use the site more you will surpass me. i'm glad you got newswrangler to help explain things to you. you'll also come to see-find out newswrang is a fine superuser and all around good person. i don't always agree with him, but he's very consistent and you don't need a lawyer and 4 sciencetist to figure out where he stands, or how he'll judge a question. happy HDing and good luck.
