Nice question - I'm betting on the Indian teams!
@orlin
Great question, thanks. Personally, I think England should have started as 60-70% favourite, but the market disagrees with me completely. I will be heavily backing England at those odds!

Yes, even more interesting if you are Australian and heading overseas soon.
Come on 76 cents or more!

I can't believe he's riding on the same team as Contador. Contador's going to be hard to beat, but he could at least be racing against him!
He's been suspended for four games, which leaves him needing three homers in three games

"The six finalists chosen for the prestigious Man Booker Prize were revealed on Tuesday (9 September).
The shortlist for this year comprises: The White Tiger by Aravind Adiga; The Secret Scripture by Sebastian Barry; Sea of Poppies by Amitav Ghosh; The Clothes on Their Backs by Linda Grant; The Northern Clemency by Philip Hensher; and A Fraction of the Whole by Steve Toltz.
The Guardian reported that this year the shortlist was notable for the authors who were absent from it. Although they were included on the longlist, Joseph O'Neill's best-selling novel Netherland, Michelle de Kretser's The Lost Dog and, most surprisingly, Salman Rushdie's The Enchantress of Florence failed to sufficiently impress the judging panel. The panel included Michael Portillo, as chairman, and Louise Doughty, who stated that they were prepared for criticism over their choice of six finalists.
The winner will be announced on 14 October and will receive EUR50,000. The Man Booker Prize is open to citizens of the British Commonwealth and the Republic of Ireland. "

The PM has been sacked - for his role in Tasting and Grumbling - but I assume this doesn't constitute a change of government?

"An underwhelming day on the mileage front today. Same number of rowing hours as usual, but it takes the cooperation of the weather to produce impressive leaps forward. Ar the moment I would say I'm 70% likely to arrive on 1st Sept, 30% likely to arrive later than that. I won't know for sure until I get there!"

Yep - we've got 8 of them. Six states, plus (Darwin capital of the Northern Territory) and Canberra, the national capital. The question wouldn't look at all strange to an Australian, but I can understand how it would to someone else.
Of course I want the question voided because I have 10 k riding on it. However, I don't think that I misread the question. The question asks "Will France be at 7th or higher place at the final overall medal tally classification?" To me the overall medal tally classification just means the medal tally - the heading on the official site is Overall Medal Standings. You can then sort the medal tally however you like, but the usual way is by gold then silver then bronze. France are currently ranked 12th on the official "overall medal standings".

However, if this is clear to everybody else then perhaps it is just my problem. Just trying to explain where I'm coming from.

I thought these were pool games when I set them up, so included ties. I hope nobody predicted a tie!
I actually have no idea, but they were offering odds for a tie on the betting site I looked at. Until I saw that I assumed they would play overtime.
However, there is no mention of a tie on the fiba website, so maybe it can't happen. Oh well.

I really can't see the issue with the summer thing. Presumably, 65 degree days won't occur in Anchorage outside what can be broadly termed summer. It would have been confusing if the question was "will this be the wettest summer" or something similar.
Still 8 days after 6th August for those interested.

Is there a link that we can use to settle this? There seem to be a lot of weather stations around Anchorage.
I looked at this station - http://english.wunderground.com/history/airport/PAMR/2008/1/1/CustomHistory.html?yearend=2008&monthend=7&dayend=29 - and got 10 days.
While this one - http://english.wunderground.com/history/airport/PANC/2008/1/1/CustomHistory.html?yearend=2008&monthend=7&dayend=29 - gives me six.
I'd like to know how the paper worked out 7 days.

Turns out there are actually six numbers. This changes things somewhat, so scratch the above and replace with the below:
<10 0.002%
10-19 0.4%
20-29 7%
30-39 46%
40-43 46%
I'll be betting on 3
<10 0.002%
10-19 0.4%
20-29 7%
30-39 46%
40-43 46%

I got these probabilities using a monte carlo analysis - highest number of 5 random numbers between 1 and 43. I hope I got these right or the whole thing is incorrect.
<10 0.01%
10-19 1.2%
20-29 11%
30-39 48%
40-43 40%
<10 0.01%
10-19 1.2%
20-29 11%
30-39 48%
40-43 40%
The way the tournament has gone, the team that bats first makes a big score and then loses. Maybe you should bowl first?
Sure. For all things asia cup: http://content-www.cricinfo.com/asiacup/content/current/series/298014.html
