Only answer if you think the chance of a singularity in the 21st century is over 1%. Do you think affecting the singularity's outcome is tractable enough to be worth any of your time or money?

"Only answer if" is bad design in this case. It makes more sense to ask for the chance of a singularity and ask the second question at the same time.
