FYI the leaderboard rankings are fake, or at least generated strategically to provide users with specific information. I am near the top of my own leaderboard, while my friend sees his own name but not mine. Also, my Brier is listed at 0.19, strikingly close to yours. I wonder if they are generated with some apparent distribution.

My take is that the leader stats are some kind of specific experimental treatment they're toying with.

This is almost more interesting than the study itself. :)

Are your friend and you able to see each other's comments on predictions?
