Description

There were 16 7.0+ earthquakes somewhere in the world in 2016. So far in 2017, there have been only 2! These two earthquakes will not count in this bet as they occurred before the bet started.

Decision Logic

If there is an earthquake somewhere in the world according to the USGS by 7.31.17 whose final measurement is 7.1+, then the bet will resolve as a "yes." Underground nuclear tests do not count lol. If there is not, then the bet will resolve as "no." The bet could resolve early. https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes will be used for earthquake measurement.

Yes, it was quite a large one. I was beginning to wonder why 2016 had so many and 2017 so few above 7.0. I reported the outcome within an hour of the quake being reported last night. July 18 bets are post facto...

Thanks for the catch! The previous two 7.0+ earthquakes in 2017 will not count toward this bet (they occurred before the bet started) and I will write that in the description above. Best- Alpha

I might not be an expert in text interpretation, but this have already resolved as a YES, since there were already two, as stated in the very bet. The bet never specifies that it does not count those two
