A total of 694 people entered the 32 Predictions contest, including Ben Lindbergh and me, but not including the nine of you who didn't leave a name and the 10 of you who entered after the deadline. Those weren't good strategies for winning.

Sixty-nine percent of you thought Ben would score better than I would, which, frankly, is pretty insulting. He did enter before me, so he owns the tie-breaker.

The most lopsided question was Runs + RBI by Bryce Harper over Carlos Beltran at 96% to 4%. There were five questions within 51/49, and the only 50/50 question was James Shields Wins vs Wil Myers HRs

Below is a list of frequencies for every question, sorted most to least lopsided. Some participants decided not to answer every question, which, again, wasn't a good strategy.

I calculated a groupthink score for each entry by averaging the overall popularities of each of the entry's choices. A higher number means an entry looks more like the consensus entry (non-answers counted as the average, 59.3%, which is also then the average groupthink score across all entries.) The most groupthink entry belongs to oltarzewskt1 at 65.8%, and the least conforming entry (by far) goes to Scott Pelarski at 44.3%. My entry is 59.0% groupthink, Ben's is 61.2% (what a hack).

You can find a full list of entries here, sorted by time of entry, with Ben's entry and my entry at the top. It includes the groupthink score, too.

Thanks for entering. I have a lot of fun with this contest every year. I may post standings part way through the season, or November may be the next time you hear about this, when the free year of Baseball Prospectus is handed out to the winner.

I just tried to figure out how to determine whether Ben and you got question 32 correct without first factoring in whether Ben and you got question 32 correct. And then my brain exploded.

Full question includes "other than this one." Definitely wanted to avoid destroying the universe.

I had the highest group think score! I wonder if that means I ran with the crowd or the crowd ran with me?

My entry from my mobile device apparently failed. I lose. Sigh.

At least I was on vacation at a beach.

I had the lowest group think score! By far! For some strange reason I am kind of proud of that.

Yeah, the next lowest score to your 44.3% was 49.1%. The lowest possible score was 33%. And the highest was 67%.

Did you make any sort of effort to pick less popular options? It's certainly a solid strategy when trying to win vs just trying to score well.

That was exactly my thinking. No prizes for second place so I thought that the best chance to win was to deviate from the norm a goodly amount. I also think that I am the leading contender for last place but I am okay with that.
