From: Futbolmetrix on
AQB holds on to the first place he had after the end of the first round.
Congrats, Myk, you enter the Hall of Sophistication!

And congrats to Jim Goloboy for a stunning second place, and for being the
first of the humans. Your entry was...erm.. a bit unorthodox (you assigned
Spain a probability of 1 to win the whole thing), but it paid off. Well done
to Werner too: fifth place and three computer simulations behind you.

I will console myself with first place among humans who didn't assign any
zeros or ones.

Congratulation to all other contestants for a fair and sophisticated effort,
and thank you for playing.

Unfortunately, I badly underestimated Uruguay. If Ghana and Uruguay
had switched places, my score would have been 33.547...did Asamoah
Gyan cost me a place in the Hall of Sophistication, or would the AQB
score also have improved?

I didn't see that coming, what a crushing coming-from-behind
victory! I thought when Uruguay (to whom I assigned
zero probability for reaching the final) bowed out that I
had a good chance of being the best human... That'll
teach me for getting cocky :)

I underestimated Spain, I think that was crucial. I thought they'd
remain true to form and bow out in the quarterfinal.

Ciao,
Werner
