It took me a minute to work out that the paper in question wasn't satirical. The hovertext thing is clever, I suppose? It still sort of seems like you're eliding the problem and scooping it under the rug of another interface layer instead of addressing it, but I'm not sure it's a huge problem to begin with, so . . . I guess?

@AndrewHartman I was super confused about whether it is satirical or not. If it was published two days earlier (and maybe also by someone less famous than Erik Demaine) I would just say it’s a joke.

Clarifications: papers in 2023 won’t be counted, also I won’t count papers that only have one author to start with.

Does this market exclude papers published in the remainder of 2023? Often I see markets like this and they are inclusive of the time between the market creation and the target time frame, but as worded this market would seem to sleep on the remainder of 2023 and only wake up for 2024.

Hahahaha, love it :D
