LAPTOP FDV above $1.5B one day after launch?

What this question means

Ten percent, and the most demanding bar in the set. The $1B version of this question sits at 24%, so moving the threshold up by half a billion costs fourteen points.

What makes this one worth reading is the history: two days of tracking spanning 8% to 45%, starting at 16%. A range that wide in forty-eight hours, on a question already priced in single digits, is remarkable volatility.

High thresholds behave this way. They sit in the tail of the distribution, where small revisions to the central expectation produce large proportional swings in the tail. A modest shift in what the crowd expects overall can double or halve the odds at the extreme.

That is worth remembering generally. The most volatile question in any threshold series is almost always the hardest one — not because it is more uncertain in absolute terms, but because tails amplify everything.
