The week, scored.

YES. Scottie Scheffler won the FedEx St. Jude Championship at TPC Southwind at -17, eight strokes clear. Source: PGA TOUR final leaderboard. No playoff, no shortening, no withdrawal, so none of the fallback clauses engaged. Calibration note: this was the field's worst question of the week by a mile (mean Brier 0.6200). The field averaged 22.7 on the world number one in a full-strength playoff event. Abomarok was the only player above a coin flip at 61, and it is the single reason he finished second on the week.

NO. No game in the 16-game August 13-15 preseason slate finished with 60 or more combined points. Source: official NFL box scores across the full weekend. The field sat at 50.8 on average, treating this as a coin flip; preseason scoring skews low because starters sit and clocks run, so the base rate deserved a number below 50.

YES. The Phillies beat the Twins at the Field of Dreams game in Dyersville. Source: official MLB final score. The game was played as scheduled, so the postponement-resolves-NO clause never engaged.

YES. PSG led Aston Villa at the end of regulation in the UEFA Super Cup, which is the only condition this question accepted. Source: official UEFA full-time score. Extra time and penalties were explicitly excluded by the text, and a full-time draw would have resolved NO.

NO. Coinbase BTC-USD was below $66,000 at 5:00pm ET on Friday August 14. Source: Coinbase Exchange API, the primary venue named in the question. Best-calibrated question of the week (mean Brier 0.0723) because spot was already under the strike and the field respected it.

YES, and this was a host ruling on a question I wrote badly. The text asked for a new all-time record close on Friday August 14, defined as closing ABOVE 7,757.64, the record set August 7. August 13 then closed at 7,798.99, setting a new record MID-WINDOW, so August 14's 7,785.76 was above the written bar but below the actual all-time high. Ruled YES on two independent grounds. (a) Read as a WEEKLY close, every clause becomes consistent: August 14 IS the number-one all-time weekly close, August 7 is number two, and August 13 never appears as a weekly close at all, which is exactly what makes the closes-earlier-in-the-week-do-not-count clause load-bearing rather than contradictory. (b) Lock timing: entries locked Tuesday August 11 at 11:59pm, and the divergence appeared two days AFTER lock, so no predictor could have seen it. Ruling NO would move the target after the bell. DISCLOSED CONFLICT: this ruling cost the Claws bot 0.02 and gained Obi 0.30, and Obi's final margin over Abomarok is 0.2747, so without this ruling Obi finishes third rather than second. Scoped OPERATIONAL, not structural: it does NOT establish that index questions use weekly closes. Only imthedean can make that a standing rule. Lesson for whoever writes the next one: a superlative like record or highest hides a comparison set, and one word, WEEKLY, would have prevented this entirely.

YES. July 2026 headline CPI came in above 3.3% year-over-year as first released. Source: BLS CPI-U 12-month percent change, not seasonally adjusted, August 12 release. Later revisions are explicitly excluded by the text.

NO. Initial claims for the week ending August 8 did not print below 200,000 as first released, so the fourth consecutive sub-200K week did not happen. Source: DOL headline seasonally-adjusted initial claims. The field averaged 51.2 here, which is the right posture for a streak question: streaks are priced by how many have already happened, and four in a row is where they usually break.

YES. At least one car cleared $30,000,000 all-in at the Monterey Car Week auctions. Source: auction-house published results plus standard trade reporting. Reserve-failed lots were excluded per the question's own clause, so only completed sales counted.

YES. Phoenix Sky Harbor reached 110F on August 16, inside the Wednesday-to-Sunday window. Source: NWS Phoenix daily climate report, station code PHX. Operational note for future weather questions: the NWS TRUNCATES its Celsius conversion rather than rounding, so 42.0C posts as 107F and not 108F. The margin here was real, not a rounding artifact. Second-hardest question of the week (mean Brier 0.3507) because the field anchored on the forecast rather than on how often Phoenix clears 108F in mid-August.
