We couldn't afford them this year for cost reasons, but by next year we'll hopefully be able to supply Time-Turners for all workshop participants.

That should have some interesting effects on the prediction markets.

The meta ones will destroy time/space.

Maybe they already did and that's why we don't have Time-Turners anymore.

I already had to hide one market with all of you operating in only one direction in time!

What market did you have to hide?

P(The last bet on this market will be >50%)

Big incentive to be the last one to bet, and, since I didn't want to make it a dangerous scrum, I hid it 3 hours before closing and made it a scavenger hunt instead.
