YES iff I get a girlfriend before I finish reading all of Allen Hatcher’s Algebraic Topology and solve all exercises. Resolves when I start dating a girl or complete the Hatcher 100% speedrun. Whether or not they count as a girlfriend is up to my discretion. I will not attempt to manipulate this market via self-sabotage.

Note: the "solve all exercises" clause is there to make finishing Hatcher much harder than it would normally be. To solve an exercise, it suffices that I have a solution in my head which I believe to be correct (no writeups required). Progress spreadsheet:

Further information: I am a freshman at Princeton University.

Sort by:

I made a progress spreadsheet which is now linked to in the description. Unfortunately progress will be quite slow this semester as I am swamped with school work. @traders

Oh cgs the probability moved up

Ahahah what do u think abt Putnam or MIT then :D (yes i created an acc to say this hi)

bought Ṁ75 NO

Allen Hatcher would be disappointed in you if this resolved yes

To finish, you'll have to read in public. Ladies can't resist anyone who knows their way around a cohomological cup product (chapter 3).

bought Ṁ10 YES

It's 559 pages of algebraic topology. I think you have a good chance of meeting someone before finishing it cover to cover.

@guiltybystander But how will he have the time to get a girlfriend whilst he's captivated by such a great text?

@Jasonb Don't make me regret my M10 bet!!
