  • gwern estimated 10% on 2011-12-28
  • gwern said “prediction short-circuits on publication of chapter 99, when prediction can be judged. 2014 due-date wild guess based on slow progress to date” on 2011-12-28
  • gwern said “low probability: ch100 sounds too soon, shades of conjunction fallacy in adducing motive as well as event, and most generally think quirrel is quirrelmort, so how could quirrel die fighting voldemort? ” on 2011-12-28
  • gwern said “potential judgment problems: what if voldemort’s personality tries to take over and do harmful things with/to harry, and quirrel commits suicide? etc.” on 2011-12-28
  • shokwave estimated 5% and said “if quirrel enters conflict with voldemort with the goal of keeping harry alive and end result is dead quirrel, i’d count this prediction as right. it seems unlikely for gwerns reasons, as well as quirrel’s extreme self interest” on 2011-12-28
