We have new questions on the market. These are official questions — we want to beat [the competition] score really well!  Topics:

Will Mariano Rajoy resign?  (CONDITIONAL on Spains S&P rating)

The Yuan to Dollar exchange rate (CONDITIONAL on QE3)

A WTO ruling on the rare earth metals complaint by the EU against China.

A possible Egyptian nuclear power plant.

Romania and/or Bulgaria in the EU (multinomial)

Sentence reductions for the band Pussy Riot (Russia).

Two of our new questions are conditional questions: you will find them formulated as “If A happens by this date, then…” and “If A does not happen by this date, then…”. Answer one or both, depending on what you know about each possible condition.  Just be careful <i>which one</i> you are editing!

“Study the past if you would define the future.”

“Knowing too much of your future is never a good thing.”
― Rick Riordan, The Lightning Thief

“The future is already here – it’s just not evenly distributed.”
― William Gibson
