I think they mean that beforehand you said “My prediction about the content of the pill is more accurate than random guesses80%”—meaning that you were 80% sure you would do better than a 50⁄50 guess of what type of pill it was throughout the trial. Then you found that you did indeed do better than 50⁄50, but didn’t give a number and I think sludgepuddle thought you had guessed right 80% of the time.
If did not make a mistake, this score could be achieved by e.g. giving ~55% probabilities and being correct every time or by always giving 70% probabilities and being right ~69 % of the time.

Ah, I see. In the table is the log score of my pill predictions (-0.6). I made predictions about the accuracy of my predictions—confusing perhaps.
