  • PlacidPlatypus said “This seems poorly worded. For one thing it seems like two separate predictions; is it 8th AND 27 medals or 8th OR 27 medals, or is the 27 medals completely unrelated to the prediction? Also is it exactly 27, or at least 27, or what?” on 2015-12-28
  • Raahul_Kumar said “Ranked 8th and 27 medals. At least 27.” on 2015-12-29
  • themusicgod1 estimated 43% and said “27 medals exactly? Unlikely.” on 2016-06-20
  • Bruno Parga estimated 1% and said “The medal table is ranked by gold medals won, not total. Brazil averaged 2.8 gold medals in the past 5 Olympics; even a growth of more than 50% (to 5 medals) wouldn’t typically land the country within the top 8. ” on 2016-08-13
  • Bruno Parga said “In fact, even though only 42% of all gold medals have already been won, Brazil can only reach the top 8 with 5 medals if nobody wins any gold medals besides the current top 7 (USA, CHN, GBR, GER, JPN, AUS, KOR).” on 2016-08-13
