AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the game show recently introduced in the US, which has been airing in Europe for some time. Participants are curious about the formula used by the "banker" to determine offers, with little information available online. A linked forum thread suggests that there is no fixed equation for the offers. Instead, the banker assesses the remaining cash options and the contestant's gameplay to formulate offers. There is also speculation on whether the banker knows the values in the briefcases beforehand, with a consensus leaning towards the idea that the banker does not have prior knowledge of the contents.

I have only read part of it, but they seem to be discussing it.
 
Does the banker know the value inside each of the briefcases ahead of time?

I think the banker does not.
 
Ok, from what I have read so far, it seems like there is no set formula. Instead the banker goes person by person and decides a number based on the money options left and the way the person has been playing.

Similar to the 2024 thread, here I start the 2025 thread. As always it is getting increasingly difficult to predict, so I will make a list based on other article predictions. You can also leave your prediction here. Here are the predictions of 2024 that did not make it: Peter Shor, David Deutsch and all the rest of the quantum computing community (various sources) Pablo Jarrillo Herrero, Allan McDonald and Rafi Bistritzer for magic angle in twisted graphene (various sources) Christoph...
